Summary

I am a motivated and hardworking 24-year-old with a strong desire to build a long-term career in canine handling. Recently relocated from New Zealand to Australia, I am actively seeking full-time employment in a hands-on, physically demanding role where I can continue developing my skills and work alongside highly trained dogs.

Since beginning my career in 2019, I have gained valuable experience in the plumbing and construction industries, working across diverse residential and commercial job sites. These environments have helped me develop a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and the ability to remain calm and focused under pressure; qualities that are directly transferable to canine handling.

I am highly adaptable, a quick learner, and take pride in working as part of a team to achieve results. With a deep respect for working dogs and a strong interest in obedience, training, and animal behavior, I am eager to transition into the canine handling field and contribute meaningfully to a professional unit.
