Summary

I am described as a high achieving student who demonstrates great work ethics. I am a dependable individual with strong communication and teamwork skills. These skills have been extended through experiences such as the Duke of Edinburgh program, musical theatre (Aladdin jr) and as a member of the SR Jazz Band at Tauraroa Area School. I'm good at listening and following instructions and bring a positive attitude to everything I do.
