Summary
My name is Vince Kalsakau and as an individual, I like to experience new things and take on new challenges about businesses and its processes. I have excellent communication skills that can help me achieve better results in any situation I put myself in.
As a university graduate, I have the ability to work under pressure and I am capable of adapting quickly. I am a hardworking, reliable, and honest person and I take time management very seriously. Being raised in Vanuatu has given me passion and motivation to create something for myself and for my people. I went to New Plymouth Boys’ High School and completed my high school years there in the year 2015. This helped me choose which program I'd want to study at University and to build my career. NPBHS and VUW has really helped shape my future and gave me an idea on what to do with my life. They have helped prepare me for the real world and how to handle almost anything that comes my way. In saying this, I have completed my Bachelor of Commerce Degree at Victoria University of Wellington with a double major of Accounting and Commercial Law. I want to find a platform where I can practice my skills and knowledge with the main goal of helping my family and community.
