Summary

A personable individual with a talent for connecting with individuals from diverse cultures, I have gained valuable experience through part-time roles at Action Tutoring and Cityfitness over the past three years. Recognized for my diligent work ethic, I thrive on acquiring new skills and have honed my organizational and time management abilities over the past six years while juggling multiple jobs, academic responsibilities, co-curricular activities, and sports commitments. During a summer internship at Haapai te Hauora, I served as a Junior Research Assistant and contributed to various research projects such as Māori Genome, Immunizations & Organ Transplant service research. This opportunity equipped me with invaluable skills that I am eager to apply in my next permanent role. With natural confidence in communication and interpersonal interactions, I consider this one of my greatest strengths. Currently on track to complete my Bachelor of Health degree with a major in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Waikato in November.
