There was one Pacific student enrolled in Christchurch's Broadcasting School in the class of 1995.
Now she's on the radio, she's on TV screens, and if there's a festival going down, she'll be decked out in her titi - Tuvuluan dance skirt.
She brings the heart to Afternoons, presenter and journalist - Marama T-Pole.
