I am a 19-year-old male currently attending Otago Polytechnic, studying carpentry. I am willing to learn and co-operate with team members, working hard to get the job done. I am a reliable and approachable person with a positive attitude. My previous work experience included working at Coronet Peak as a Level 1 ski instructor and last year I travelled to Maine, USA, to teach water skiing to a camp of teenage boys for 3 months. These jobs demanded excellent time management, patience and reliability. Skills which I believe I now possess as a result of these experiences. My commitment to sports such as skiing, rowing and sailing also taught me skills like discipline, perseverance and independence which I have found very valuable since leaving school.
