Summary
Kia ora, I am a 23-year-old Māori Carpenter from New Zealand with over 6 years of hands-on carpentry and construction experience. I moved to Australia at the beginning of 2025 to further my skills and career opportunities. I am very passionate about building and I pride myself at being safety-conscious, adaptable, and able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. I am competent at liaising with clients, mentoring apprentices, and delivering high-quality results across all aspects of construction. I relate to people from all walks of life, and I am always eager to take on new opportunities that expand my skills and advance my career.
