Hobbies
My hobbies include, computer programming, general fitness, weight lifting and car restoration.
I played rugby league until I entered College and then focused on study, rather than team sports as I am mildly dyslexic.
Career objectives
I am investigating two potential careers. I have spent the last seven months losing forty kilos, and improving my overall fitness with a view to entering Police College once I turn 18. I have also practiced for and passed my restricted drivers license. I have worked part time at Mayfield, and am now seeking full time employment if possible to begin training for a private pilot's license.
The other career I am considering is joining the RNZAF to complete flight training there.
Additional Information
I am happy to take on part time and or full time work. I can provide several references if require. Thank you for considering my CV.
