Summary

Hi I’m Kelsey but most people call me Kels. I have been working since I was 15-16 so I have a fair bit of experience in different jobs. From earthworks to a little bit of diesel mechanic work to drainlaying but the last 14 plus years i worked in the Glazing Industry. I did the first 5 years(05/2011 - 03/2016) in Auckland city working on construction sites i.e high rise buildings. Then i got a transfer - 03/2016 for the same company to Whangarei to be closer to my family and i just finished with them on 05/2025. I have come to Australia because of better work and pay opportunities and to ultimately provide for my daughters.
