Leeston

Summary

I’m a dedicated and motivated individual with a strong work ethic and a genuine passion for learning new things. Since relocating to the Selwyn District in 2020 with my family, I’ve embraced the sense of community and the benefits of small-town life. As a mother of three—including 10-year-old twins and an 11-year-old—I’ve developed excellent time management, multitasking, and problem-solving skills that I bring into the workplace.

I’m friendly, approachable, and thrive in both team environments and independent roles. I consider myself a people person and take pride in delivering high-quality work. Over the years, I’ve gained a broad range of skills through various roles and am always eager to expand my knowledge and take on new challenges.
