Summary

I grew up on a dairy farm and worked there for six years, milking twice a day and doing manual labor on weekends. Since then, I’ve always had two jobs—working in a restaurant at night while labouring for a company during the day. During COVID, I took on a third job at Woolworth's to help with extra hours. I later moved into the fitness industry as a trainer and gym manager, while also labouring for a close mate’s landscape and construction business on some afternoons and weekends.

This resume highlights my strong work ethic, hands-on experience, and willingness to learn. I’m looking to transition into the mining & labouring industry, and long hours or physically demanding work won’t be a problem.
