Additional Information

My role in the New Zealand Defence Force over the last 7 years has been extremely diverse. I have worked in a number of different Head Quarters under different tempos. I am a fast learner and strive for excellence in everything I do, be it on a sports field, in my career or learning new skills. I will always put in the extra effort in order to ensure I am more than proficient in what is required of me in my roles. The Defence Force has given me a lot of skills and attributes that I know will benefit me in whatever I pursue. I have the ability to work independently and collaboratively and have worked alongside people from all walks of life at all ages.

Fitness

I have a passion for fitness. I will always ensure I remain as fit and healthy as possible. My fitness comes from sports, running and generic weight training at the gym. I believe remaining in good physical health not only benefits our body, but our minds aswell.
