Summary

I'm definitely not boring—even if reading a CV sometimes can be, my auntie (admittedly biased) once called me a jack of all trades: 'A master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.' Thanks, Aunty. I’m a second-year Marketing and Psychology student at Otago University who brings strong people skills, reliability, and plenty of enthusiasm to every challenge. My background in customer service and hands-on work has honed my communication, problem-solving, and adaptability in fast-paced environments.

I’m passionate about making even the ordinary seem interesting—a skill I enjoy testing through creative challenges with friends to sharpen my sales and persuasion abilities. As a team leader in a Level 2 marketing project, I helped my group achieve 1st place out of 279 students, gaining valuable experience in researching consumer behaviours, analysing what drives decision-making, and presenting complex ideas in engaging, impactful ways.

I’m eager to gain practical marketing experience and contribute fresh ideas, energy, and initiative to your team.
