I always do as I'm told, I'm patient and good with people. I believe in treating people how I would want to be treated and that always starts with maintaining a positive attitude. I've just wrapped up a Communications degree at the University of Waikato. After majoring in Public Relations and doing a minor in Screen and Media Studies, I'm excited to put what I have learned to use. I’ve gained experience through roles at St John’s Head Student Librarian, as a Checkout Operator at New World, and as Camp Counselor at Camp Pinnacle. I’m eager to continue building my skills in public relations and communications, and I’m open to roles that involve content creation, presenting, and coordinating with teams.
