Summary
I am a dependable and detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills eager to be considered for the position you have advertised.
I have the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of professionalism, and am always willing to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
My career within the New Zealand Racing industry has largely involved work as a stud hand, but it has instilled within me great organisational skills and a strong work ethic, and racing pedigrees are a passion of mine. I did a stint with New Zealand Thoroughbred Marketing and I am keen to learn more about this side of the industry.
I am legal to work within New Zealand as a New Zealand born citizen, and I hold a full driver's license with reliable transportation. I am 31 years old and I am a tidy, polite, friendly person.
My contract with my current employer is scheduled to end on February 16, 2024, and I have decided it is time to branch out and devote myself to developing new skills within the industry.
