Kirsten Humphreys
Deputy Warden | Tautiaki Piki
Kia ora whānau. I'm one of the Deputy Wardens at UniFlats. I’ve been working in student accommodation for the past seven years and one of the things I enjoy most about my role is meeting new people and learning about their unique experiences and backgrounds.
Dunedin has always been home for me, and I love everything the city has to offer. It’s a vibrant place with plenty to see and do, and it’s easy to get around. When I’m not in Dunedin, you’ll usually find me in Clyde, Central Otago, spending time with family and making the most of the region’s fantastic cafés and restaurants.
Outside of work, much of my time is spent with my two miniature schnauzers, Bonnie and Albert. They are convinced they run the household, and to be honest, they’re probably right! They certainly keep life entertaining and make sure there’s never a dull moment.
I look forward to welcoming you to UniFlats and helping you make the most of your time in Dunedin.

Anne Trainor
Operations Manager | Kaiwhakahaere Rauemi
I have been part of the Uni Flats whānau for over 15 years, and during that time I have had the privilege of meeting and supporting students from all over New Zealand and around the world. One of the things I enjoy most about my role is seeing the friendships, memories, and experiences that make Uni Flats such a special place to live.
For many students, Uni Flats is their first experience of independent living, and that is an exciting step. Learning how to manage a household, live with others, budget, solve everyday challenges, and balance study with life are all important parts of the journey. Our team is here to support you as you develop these skills, offering guidance and practical help while encouraging you to build confidence and independence along the way.
I look forward to meeting you and being part of your Otago journey. Whether you have a question, a concern, or simply need some advice, please reach out. We are here to help you make the most of your time at Uni Flats and the University of Otago. We hope your stay is filled with personal growth, lasting friendships, great experiences, and memories that stay with you long after you leave. Welcome to your new home.
