Southland

Summary

Born and raised on a Southland sheep farm, I've always worked hard outdoors. My family has always been into the outdoors, so I have spent most of my leisure time growing up in the mountains or surf. I have a positive, motivated, and enthusiastic approach to life, and will take any challenge or opportunity that comes my way. I work hard and to the highest standard I am capable of. I value the community and willingly volunteer to be a part of this. I hope to incorporate these skills into my future. I am a fast learner, a committed team member, and I adapt quickly to new situations.
