Summary
I am 20 year old studying a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours at the University of Canterbury. Prior to this I attended St Andrews college where I was member of the boarding house for my five years of attending. In my final year of high school I was named the Head of Boys Boarding and apart of the head prefect team. During my time in the boarding house I gained key life skills and learnt how to be able to effectively communicate and get along with all different types of personalities. During my years of study and the time where I was competing competitively in Hockey and Athletics I have become very dedicated, hard working and resilient with the ability to effectively work in both group environments and alone. I have a focus on the quality in all aspects of my life and am always striving for the best of my abilities. During my time of employment at Tavendale Farming Ltd I have learnt to be very punctual due to the strenuous hours that it involved. I Am looking forward to putting my skills that I have developed over the years into practice and continuing to grow and develop both professionally and personally.
