Summary
I am a hardworking, honest and conscientious individual who is looking for a new and exciting employment opportunity. I work well within a team environment as well as on my own and I am always eager to learn new things and can adapt well to changing environments. I have a passion for working with tamariki, especially who present with diverse or challenging behaviour. I find it very rewarding when you can help them. Another passion is working, coaching or managing athletes or teams within their sport. I love seeing the growth in them. Dividing my time between working, managing sport and spending time with my family has made me learn to manage my time well and be more organised.
