Summary

I am Joan Sebastian Taborda Cano, known as Sebastian, a dedicated and motivated professional with 13 years of residency in New Zealand, where I have become a permanent resident. Originally from Colombia, I am fluent in both Spanish and English. At 27 years old, I bring a wealth of experience and a strong work ethic to every role I undertake.

Punctuality and reliability are cornerstones of my professional persona, and I am always eager to contribute positively to a dynamic team. I am enthusiastic about new opportunities in my field and look forward to bringing my skills and dedication to a great team in my chosen industries.
