![]() “I decided to work for Western Pacific University because it is going to be the first digital university in Papua New Guinea. I am excited about being part of it because it offers a great opportunity to rub shoulders with other professionals with a wealth of experience and because I will be serving this beautiful country in a higher educational institution and helping to build future generations. Education is for everyone and the students who come to WPU will be trained and taught to be digital citizens and competent with the current digital world.” This is the response from Wingki Mainapo when asked about why he chose to work with Western Pacific University. Mr. Mainapo is managing the Online Learning Management System for staff and students at WPU and will also be tutoring Foundation Math for Foundation year students in 2021. When asked about how he become interested in computers, he replied, “One memorable moment throughout my childhood that influenced my career was when my mother bought me a secondhand laptop for me to do my school work. I was interested to know more about computing. I got familiar with using computer software such as kids Encarta, computer games, Microsoft applications, video and audio players, paint and so on. My initial dream of becoming a doctor faded as I become passionate about computers.” Growing up, Mr. Mainapo’s role model was Dr.Ben Carson. “Dr. Ben Carson is someone very remarkable in my eyes. I would read all his books and love all the best Godly quotes. Of all of his achievements, his remarkable standing in his profession and faith in God, I admire his determination, dedication and hard work. Reading and learning from his books has made a tremendous impact on my education and career choices.” Mr. Mainapo grew up in Lae, Morobe Province. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Divine Word University in 2018, and two years after that he graduated with his postgraduate certificate in Higher Education Teaching and Learning.
