Summary
Professional and motivated individual with experience in many different areas. Friendly and reliable person, capable of maintaining a respectful demeanor when under pressure. Well-spoken and skilled in communicating with people from all walks of life. Currently serving as a Soldier in the New Zealand Army with seven years experience, demonstrating consistent commitment to integrity, loyalty and resilience throughout my military career. Currently searching for a different career path that will allow me to be closer to home for more of the year. I am a quick learner and carry out tasks to the best of my ability. I have always felt a pull towards working within agriculture, but have never had the opportunity to start, until now.
