Taylor O’Leary
Muriwai Beach
Summary
My name is Taylor O’Leary, a 23 year old from Muriwai Beach, Auckland. I currently serve as the Head of Sales and Marketing at Sticky Johnson Surf Wax, where I’ve been a dedicated team member, contributing to the company’s growth across multiple areas. Before that, I had taken on a variety of roles—from plumbing to event management—each one helping me develop a broad and valuable skill set. While I’m proud of what I’ve achieved so far, I’m now looking for new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow within different industries. I bring a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and a genuine willingness to continue learning and developing professionally.
