  • Description

    Hello, I'm an adventurous and hard working individual, who likes exploring quite rural locations and getting down into nature. I grew up around animals of all different shapes and sizes and absolutely adore getting to spend time with them when I can. I'm also a bit of a book and film lover having spent a few years studying film at university. However since then I've worked in the trades doing electrical work and spent some time as a police officer to get closer to my community and aid in helping others in need. I've recently started a gap year abroad to New Zealand after traveling parts of Asia where I'm looking to gain new experiences and see the rural side of New Zealand.

  • More details about your skills

    I've got experience working with animals from a young age, I rode horses as a child from 5 to 14 years old and occasionally still ride now, due to this I've also spent time around a farm and have completed small tasks expected of farm workers including feeding and mucking out animals. After university I became a tradie working as an electrical apprentice, so I am comfortable with basic repair, and maintenance work that involve drills and screwdrivers. I also bought a house 2 years ago back home and spent some time renovating it including painting the house from top to bottom and rebuilding the deck (with some help from my dad for the big tools). I'm comfortable cleaning and cooking and my house had a small garden so I've done gardening jobs in the past although I'm not brilliant at recognising what plants are weeds.

  • What else ...

    I'm a laid back individual most of the time, My ideal evening is sitting outside in a pretty location watching the sunset with a couple of friends and playing Uno or some other card game.
