Summary

Adept at managing the Lunches in Schools program at Broadwood Area School, I excel in menu design and budget management, ensuring optimal nutrition.

My strong and exceptional work ethic have significantly enhance team productivity. Skilled in computer literacy and effective communication, I consistently achieve goals under pressure, demonstrating a profound ability to lead and innovate in challenging environments.

Working within the Ka Ora Ka Ako Healty lunches in schools program the last few years at both Broadwood Area School & Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o pukemiro simultaneously has improved my multi tasking skills immensely. Refreshing and exercising my knowledge around nutrition to create delicious meals for children 5yrs to 18yrs has been the most rewarding job Ive ever had so far.
