Summary

Recognized as a dynamic actor with a proven track record in the New Zealand Arts industry, I pride myself on being malleable enough to fit into any part. With a focus on deadlines and cultivating meaningful relationships, I see opportunities in any area that involves building rapport. My extensive experience working in cafes and restaurant across Auckland also give me an edge when it comes to dealing with any grievances that potential clientele may have. Although I have little experience in sales, I am currently part way through studying for my certificate in Personal Training, meaning my undeniable enthusiasm about living an active lifestyle is sure to be a bonus.
