Prue+Rehu

Hi, My name is Purotu, but most people call me Prue. I was born in Rarotonga and have been in New Zealander since I was 5. I am looking forward to this year and sharing my learning with anyone wanting to read or listen. I can be contacted by email: jpcrehu@clear.net.nz If you would like any information regarding my fellowship or the learning I am currently doing I can also be contacted at: prue.rehu@frucor.com

Why did I apply for a Royal Society Fellowship? I had been thinking about applying a few times, but a lunch with a friend in 2007, who was currently on a fellowship year prompted me to get into action and do something about applying. Through her guidance I was able to put together a successful application, which has enabled me to be where I am today. The application process requires careful thought and thorough planning. Finding something that one really wants to do is very important. With that one focus it makes the whole application thing so much easier (well a little easier). You have to really want the fellowship year and this I feel is reflected in the way the application is written up.
