Tauranga,BOP

Summary

I am currently in my second year of a Bachelor of Architecture at Victoria University of Wellington and am seeking full-time summer work. Growing up in Tauranga, New Zealand, I developed a strong sense of hard work, dedication, and responsibility, values that continue to guide me today. I am reliable, approachable, and enjoy working both independently and collaboratively, taking on challenges that help me learn and grow. Outside of my studies and work, I enjoy staying active through hobbies like golfing, snow skiing, and fishing, which help me maintain balance and focus. Looking ahead, I plan to pursue a Master’s degree and would likely be available for summer work in future years, allowing me to return with prior experience and a clear understanding of what it takes to contribute effectively to any team.
