Summary

Te Reo Māori Tutor at Bulls Primary, skilled in fostering a love for learning through engaging activities. Leveraging patience and creative thinking.

As a Bar Manager, I implemented innovative strategies that boosted revenue and improved customer satisfaction, showcasing my problem-solving abilities and commitment in making their business strive. I was a bartender and Karaoke host most nights.

As a transcriber I helped researchers, university students write and publish a book.

Refurbisher- I had started my own small business in Auckland as a flipper. I one day drove past a low boy drawer on the side of the road took it home and started bringing it back to life. I found it to be really therapeutic and became passionate about wanting to save furniture and restoring it giving it another chance at life. I later decided to move back to Wanganui closer to whanau and opened a shop in Marton alongside my dad.
