Summary
I am a final-year Master of Engineering student specialising in Computer Systems at the University of Auckland. I have one month of work experience as kitchen staff at Steam & Stew Kitchen and one month of voluntary experience as a cashier at the Vinnies Op Shop. I am passionate about problem-solving and self-improvement. I taught myself to solve the Rubik's Cube, participated in competitions, and engaged with the community to further enhance my skills. I am eager to apply my reliability, adaptability, and strong customer service mindset in a retail role while supporting my education.
