Summary

With a strong foundation in hospitality, having completed Level 4 and 5 studies, I honed my skills as a chef over a span of seven years. During this time, I developed a keen attention to detail, time management, and a commitment to providing high-quality service. Seeking new challenges, I transitioned into the transport industry last year, driving buses for Ritchies Transport all around Christchurch. This role allowed me to gain valuable experience in driving and customer service, further enhancing my ability to connect with and assist passengers. Now, I am eager to shift my career trajectory towards truck driving, where I can leverage my diverse skill set and dedication to excellence in a new and exciting domain
