Conrad Latimer

I am a dedicated professional known for my strong work ethic and ability to thrive in both team environments and individual roles. Beyond the workplace, I find joy in social gatherings, sports, and fishing. Currently, I work full-time as a mental health support worker in Hamilton. I am actively gaining valuable experience in psychology whilst simultaneously in my third year of a psychology degree at the University of Waikato. Aside from professional and academic pursuits, I dedicate time to volunteering at the Department of Corrections. Here, I assist inmates in writing resumes and providing positive interaction before reintegrating back into society.
