Mika Stowers
Melbourne,VIC
Summary
I hope this application finds you well. I made the move to Melbourne, Australia from Hamilton, New Zealand in January 2024 to see what else the world had to offer. I have worked as a carpenter, labourer and manufacturer, so am familiar to a hard day's work no matter the weather. I am a hard working, dependable, reliable individual, and am eager to build experience in different fields of work, matter not what it may be. I pride myself on punctuality, work ethic and the willingness to go beyond the standard level. I've had experience with various hands on jobs over the years through family/friends, and classic word of mouth. I am happy to discuss any further questions that you may have, so please do not hesitate to contact me at any given time of the day.
Kind Regards.
