Summary

I am currently an 18 years old, who has taken a gap year to find and finalize a career or passion that I am interested in. During this period of searching I have continued to learn, grow and work. I have experience in customer service, time mangement and reliability from working in St Pierres and also know how to work hard and be commited from being apart of a mechanic shop with long hours. I excelled in my education finishing NCEA lvl 1, 2 and 3 at a high standard. Likewise in sports, I am very active; Having experience with football, MMA, Jiu Jitsu etc. I am an easy going person who is able to fit in any situation and still be able to preform. I prioritise others needs and wants, in order to be as much help as possible. I tend to throw myself in the deep end of situations with an open mind so that I am able to learn and process new things as quickly as I can.

Hobbies

I have always tinkered and fixed items and objects since I was young so at the age of 13 I was fortunate enough to get my own car for a project and hands on experience (1991 Mitsubishi GTO). In 5 years of ownership I have repainted, restored (it was abandoned) , rebuilt the transmission, stripped the motor to just the block, and serviced the vehicle all by myself. Hours reading outdated forums, watching videos and talking to people/groups really helped me through it all; The car is just at the beginning of what I want it to be. I have other hobbies such as sports (football and Jujitsu) but part time work and the GTO has taken most of the free time.
