Mose Tanielu is a driven young leader who graduated with a BCOM degree in Accounting in 2016. However, after working as an accountant for less than a year, he realised that accounting wasn’t for him.

He went on to work as a Technical Functional Analyst at the University of Auckland and has been in this role for over four years. He is an analyst with a passion for change and innovation especially in the data and technology space.

Mose also sits on the UoA Digital Services Occupational Health and Safety committee to ensure the Digital services provides a safe and healthy workplace for its employees. 

 He won an award for Service and Leadership at the University of Auckland 2020 Blues Awards. Last year, Mose decided to go back to university to study IT and has recently completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Information Technology.

Outside of work, Mose enjoys serving his community with acts of service. He is a Volunteer Firefighter on call 24/7. 

He volunteers twice a month at Auckland City Mission and Eat my Lunch and fundraised for I AM HOPE and The Voices of Hope. During the lockdown, Mose and his mates volunteered every week for 8 weeks, 6 hours per week. 

As a Volunteer Firefighter based in Auckland Central he has been serving the community in this role for over two years now.

Mose serves at Life Church every fortnightly as a youth leader greeting and welcoming people to church. Giving out brochures, assisting anyone who needs help with seating and answers to any general queries particularly the youth welfare.

But that is not all. Somehow Mose also finds time to model where he recently modelled in the New Balance latest release of their running shoes that is due to be released in 2021.

For all of that Mose Tanielu was awarded the Pacific Cooperation Foundation Highly Commended Young Pasifika Male of Influence Award 2020.
