Summary

I'm a hands-on, solutions-focused mechanical engineering student currently in my third year at AUT, with a solid academic track record in design, materials science, and mathematics. With over two years of customer-facing experience across technical retail roles, from bike mechanics at 99 Bikes to footwear consulting at HOKA, I’ve developed a strong mix of people skills and technical know-how. I’m confident in diagnosing mechanical systems, explaining complex concepts clearly, and staying composed in fast-paced environments. Whether it's navigating drivetrain issues or juggling multiple priorities on the job, I bring a proactive mindset, sharp problem-solving abilities, and a strong drive to contribute meaningfully to any engineering team I’m part of.
