Hugh Manson

Hi, I'm Hugh, I am from Whangarei Boys High School, and am currently studying Marine Science at the University of Otago. I pride myself on my work ethic, being a reliable, self-motivated employee, and being easy to work with. Outside of my education, I enjoy anything to do with the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. I also have spent a lot of time in team sport, including rugby and rowing, which have resulted in my development as a friendly, companionable person who is able to get on well with a wide range of people from different backgrounds. My work experience as a farm hand on my family farm has taught me to manage my time well, apply myself vigorously to jobs, and learn quickly.
