Summary

I am a reliable and enthusiastic worker with experience across a diverse range of roles, including customer service, retail, farming, and corporate environments. I’m eager to join the team at Wanaka Horse Trekking in December 2025 in any role available.

I’ve spent most of my life around horses—riding from the age of 5 through to 18 and competing in eventing up to 2* level with a team of two horses. I also worked for professional eventers Donna and Elise Edward-Smith, helping to manage their team of 30 competitive horses. This background taught me patience, initiative, and a deep understanding of the responsibility and attention to detail required when working with horses.

Alongside my equine experience, I’ve worked in retail and hospitality roles that strengthened my communication skills and ability to create a positive, welcoming environment for customers. I genuinely enjoy engaging with people and helping them have memorable, enjoyable experiences. I have also worked in a high-pressure corporate setting as a Law Clerk at a top public law firm in Auckland last summer, which further developed my professionalism, organisation, and ability to perform under pressure.
