Kalib Matthews

Wanganui East

Summary

Versatile and results-driven, I excelled at Ideal Electrical Wanganui, managing inventory and enhancing customer relationships. Demonstrated adaptability across roles, from Warehouse Storeperson to Café Manager, I've honed multitasking and rapport-building skills, significantly contributing to operational efficiency and sales growth.

I've been a part of the New Zealand Cadet Forces for 13 years, and I am currently the Unit Commander for two units in Wanganui. I have been able to learn, develop, and portray our four core values. Commitment, courage, comradeship, and integrity are integral to everything that I do in life. I have been commissioned as an officer in the NZCF since 2019, which focuses on personal discipline, leading teams, public relations, risk management, workplace safety, conflict resolution, as well as instructional technique and training management. Being an NZCF Officer is described as the '6th priority,' meaning it only takes up small amounts of my time each week, all in my own time, as well as compulsory services such as the ANZAC Day Parades.
