Summary
I am originally from Taranaki but grew up in Wellington with my parents, Janine and Michael, and my brother, Sam. My whānau is proud of our New Zealand Māori heritage, and I am deeply connected to this part of my identity. My passion lies in leveraging my psychological background within the business sector. I am a balanced, reliable, and efficient young man, eager to learn and make a significant impact in every endeavor I undertake. My dedication to continuous personal and professional growth drives me to seek opportunities where I can apply my skills and knowledge to create meaningful change.
