Summary
A motivated and adaptable individual who completed New Zealand high school and NCEA Level 3 early, gaining university entrance. A high-performance surf lifesaving athlete and certified lifeguard with over four years of volunteer experience. Alongside surf lifesaving training, I’m preparing to begin further study, and I’m looking for part-time work that complements my long-term goals while allowing me to contribute meaningfully in a team environment. I am productive, reliable, and thrive under pressure. With strong communication skills, a positive attitude, and a commitment to learning, I am ready to contribute to a team-focused and customer-driven work environment.
