Summary

I'm a second-year Plant Science student at Massey University, and I'm truly passionate about plant breeding and agricultural research. I'm excited by the prospect of applying what I've learned in the classroom to real-world situations. I have experience working in busy environments where diligence and teamwork are key. I communicate fluently in both English and Mandarin, enjoy working outdoors, and bring a collaborative spirit to any team. As a New Zealand Permanent Resident, I'm fully available and ready to contribute.
