Ciara Coles

I joined the communications team at Te Pou and Blueprint for Learning at the beginning of 2025. I enjoy working in the mental health and addiction sector where I can contribute to better outcomes for tangata whai ora.

I studied at the Victoria University of Wellington and the University of Waikato, where I obtained a Bachelor of Communication majoring in Marketing. Prior to joining Te Pou, I worked in a public relations role, monitoring mental health in the New Zealand media landscape.

In my role, I focus on getting our resources, events, trainings, and initiatives out to the sector. Day-to-day, I liaise with Te Pou and Blueprint kaimahi to support them with their communications and marketing needs. I also work with the design, print, and digital teams to produce collateral for the various programmes of work.
