Paihia,New Zealand

Summary

I have a deep-rooted passion for the outdoors, having spent my life in the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand, particularly the Bay of Islands. Fishing, hunting, horse riding, and cooking are among the many activities that bring me joy. Raised in a large, loving family, I've imbibed values of kindness and drive. My career in the hospitality industry mirrors that same dedication.

My work history is rich and diverse, having gained employment in various roles from a young age. Ambitious and humble, I am eagerly anticipating my future, the people I'll encounter, and the opportunities for personal growth. I'm excited about the prospect of learning, developing new ventures in the hospitality sector, and fostering the growth of existing establishments to unprecedented heights.
