Summary

Skilled joiner and volunteer firefighter with over three years of experience in joinery, starting in February 2021, and five years as a volunteer firefighter. I have developed strong sense of craftsmanship, technical expertise, and leadership in custom joinery projects, along with hands-on CNC programming. My firefighting experience has enhanced my ability to stay calm and decisive in high-pressure situations, working effectively as part of a team. Dedicated to professionalism, respect, and cultural awareness, I prioritize fitness through daily gym workouts, ensuring I maintain the physical stamina required for both joinery and firefighting. I aim to bring my diverse skill set to the New Zealand Police, where I can contribute to community safety and trust-building.
