Originally an Architectural technician, I have transitioned out of the office to search for a career outside of a white- walled cubical. After travelling the country in a van, I found myself helping on a small sailing yacht while acquiring maritime qualifications in Nelson NZ. Before my office role, I worked as a housekeeper and receptionist at a hotel which gave me a solid customer-centric background. My hotel experience along with my architecture gave me a keen eye for detail and a commitment to cleanliness. My first stop out of the country found me working as a bartender and barista in Amsterdam. Afterwards, I headed to Turkey and Bulgaria. There I worked on an olive farm, was a housekeeper at an eco-tourism hotel, taught English to adults in Istanbul and taught English to children at an alternative school in Sofia. This all has refined my communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills—crucial for cultivating a positive environment. With each new opportunity I have jumped straight in, quickly learnt the ropes, learnt a whole new bunch of skills and had a lot of fun. I am hoping to do the same with my next role.
