Summary

Hi, I’m Kruz. I really like working with people, I can easily get along with others and I enjoy working as part of a team. I'm keen to get a fulltime position. I excelled in NCEA level 1 and 2 Accounting, and so I also enjoy working with numbers, spreadsheeting and on various admin type tasks. I am also a recent graduate of Varda Hairdressing Academy, and I plan to develop a part-time hairdressing business in my spare time. When I’m not busy, I like to spend time with my whanau and friends.
