Summary

I'm a 19-year-old apprentice with two years of hands-on experience in a trade-based role. While I’ve been training in welding, I’ve always enjoyed working with people and communicating clearly, especially in situations that require patience and good problem-solving. I’m currently living in Hastings but looking to move back to Auckland, where I hope to bring my strong work ethic and practical experience into a customer service role. I'm eager to keep learning and help others while building a long-term career in a people-focused environment.
