Summary
I am extremely motivated and energetic young Maori women. I enjoy being part of a team and working to achieve a common goal. I have the ability to learn fast whilst retaining information.
I thrive on challenging situations and have the ability to work well under pressure. I have been privileged to be mentored by extremely competent and experienced site managers that have provided me exposure to technical and complex projects. These experiences have instilled in me the importance of completing projects on time to a high standard for our clients. My motto is to do something once and do it right!
I am extremely hard working and reliable. I am looking to further my knowledge in all aspects of building and become the best builder i can be.
My dream is to build my own house one day on our whanau land in Taupo.
