New Plymouth,TKI

Summary

I have a passion for health, outdoor recreational activities and wellbeing. I took the path of studying fitness after leaving secondary school where I obtained my NCEA Level 1, 2 & 3. At the Western Institute of Taranaki, I completed a Level 3 and Level 4 New Zealand Certificate in Exercise (Personal Training). I then studied Level 5 Diploma in Health Sciences, though the Naturopathic College of New Zealand, while multi-tasking with jobs in hospitality. I completed a Level 5 Exercise Certificate last year that has helped to broaden my knowledge on the application exercise in treating illnesses and disease prevention.

I love working in dynamic environments, meeting new people, and working towards a greater purpose with like-minded people. My ideal job is one that allows you to proactively achieve goals that company sets, and one that improves life satisfaction, freedom and happiness.

Hobbies and Interests

I love music and I have a passion for dancing and creative expression, so I aim to programme my own training around this, although that never stops me from trying something new. I have a bass guitar, as something funky to do in my down time, to improve my state of mind and gives the body a rest. When the weather is good, going for a bike ride along the walkway or a refreshing bush walk.
