Summary
A descendant of Ngati te Ata I was born and raised in Waiuku. I am an honest and reliable employee with excellent time management and organisation skills. I thrive in busy environments and I work well under pressure. I am well known amongst my whanau and peers for my leadership, integrity, and high standard of work ethic. I have left my previous employment to pursue my dream along side my partner to become a successful qualified Chef. Currently, a student at Manukau Institute of Technology, enrolled in Cookery level 4, I am seeking employment in the food industry which offers opportunities that allow me to develop my skills as an aspiring qualified Chef.
