Summary

As a seasoned leader with a proven track record, I began my journey as the Head Boy at Tauranga Intermediate in Year 8, where I honed my leadership skills and set the foundation for my future endeavours. This experience paved the way for my role as a prefect at Hamilton Boys High School, where I continued to cultivate a passion for fostering positive environments and effective structures.

My leadership journey reached new heights when I had the privilege of captaining New Zealand to a triumphant victory at the Youth World Cup, showcasing my dedication, strategic mindset, and ability to thrive in high-pressure situations. I am a driven and hardworking individual, committed to maintaining a delicate balance between cultivating a cohesive work environment and implementing positive and effective structures within the workplace. My experiences have equipped me with the skills to lead, inspire, and contribute to the success of any team or organisation.
