Summary
Kia Ora, I am 22 years old and have recently returned to Wellington after completing my degree in Ecology & Marine Science at Otago. I would describe myself as a friendly people-orientated person who connects easily with others. I put a lot of effort into everything I do and hold myself to a high standard. I am passionate about appreciating and protecting the unique environment we have in Aotearoa, and am looking to become part of a team creating positive change, particularly in the environmental field.
