Salassa Burton

Although a New Zealand citizen, my life has been one of constant movement and international experiences. From Australia to NZ at one, then Brunei Darussalam at seven, a brief year in Malaysia, followed by three years in Thailand, and finally, Singapore for high school. This has aided in strengthening my cultural diversity, understanding, language proficiency and adaptability.

Returning back to Marton in November 2023, my plans involve enrolling at Massey University, a decision influenced by familial ties. My father grew up locally in Marton, and my grandparents have been long term residents. I also spent a year at James Cook School in 2012.

Now that I am back in Marton, I am very keen to get full time work as soon as possible. Ideally, I am seeking jobs in the Marton area, but am willing to travel further afield if required. Physically fit and capable of labouring jobs, I feel that I thrive on keeping myself busy.
