As a Tour Guide at the Te Anau Glowworm Caves, I interacted with hundreds of domestic and international visitors each day, delivering engaging commentary on the area's natural history, geology, and ecology. The role required clear and confident communication, adaptability, and strong interpersonal skills to connect with diverse audiences and ensure a memorable experience. I was also responsible for maintaining group safety in a dark, underground environment with running water, reinforcing my attention to detail and ability to stay calm and attentive in dynamic situations.

As a Relief Milker on a farm comprising over 400 cows, I handled the efficient milking of dairy cows while maintaining high standards of animal welfare and farm safety. The role strengthened my work ethic, reliability, and adaptability through early starts and varied conditions, and taught me to work both independently and within a team in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
