Summary
I am an eager/ready to learn young man, who still has plenty to learn in facets of life and am attempting to find relative jobs that I will enjoy and am capable of completing. I come with a skillset that is derived from my parents, consisting of being a hard-working, reliable, and dedicated worker who will always guarantee a positive attitude. I am fresh off a migration from New Zealand where I served as a public servant for the Ministry for Pacific Peoples, my first job fresh off achieving a 3 year degree which took me 3.5 years, years that included the passing of my dear mother among many other obstacles we all face on a daily basis. I only mention that to show I am resilient and hold a great deal of perseverance, being able to push through my final year of studying while not letting any challenges halt my journey. Above all things I would love to be apart of an environment/team where one of their biggest drives is to help make positive impacts in the lives of others, especially those who need it more than most.
