Tia Pettifer

Kia Ora! I moved to Queenstown in September 2023 where I have just completed an Outdoor Instructor Programme run by Pure Exploration. I was credited my NZOIA Bush leader and Rock Leader qualifications.

Prior to this I completed a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Psychology and Education at Victoria University of Wellington, I graduated in May 2023. I am an approachable, friendly, adventurous and organised individual and have a diverse skill set which covers hospitality, tourism and teaching.

I am a NZ Citizen and have a full Drivers licence.
