Summary

I grew up in small community in Suva, Fiji that taught me to be very humble and grateful for the things that I have and have yet to achieve in life and that loyalty is very important. Working in the steel manufacturing industry for 10+ years I managed to build and extra layer skin by trying to always have a positive mindset and attitude with everything that I do and to shut out any negativity that comes my way. Always willing to experience change or new things. Easy going and enjoy my quality time with family and friends.
