Personal Profile
I graduated after three years of University at the conclusion of 2013. Finishing with a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Auckland with a double major in Finance and Accounting. Since leaving university I have spent the past year on my OE traveling around many different parts of the world including America, Europe and South East Asia. I have learnt a lot this past year, traveling by myself pushed me outside of my comfort zone a number of times, gaining new experiences both socially and culturally that I could not have discovered under any other circumstances.
During my time at University I was actively involved in many of the available extra-curricular activities, particularly the Investment club, Management consulting club and the Rock & Alpine Club.
I am a well-rounded ambitious student with excellent time management and problem solving skills. I thrive in new environments and work well in teams. I gained entrepreneurial skills through a number of ventures during my high school years with the most successful venture dealing in dry stock on my families land. Making a healthy profit for a high school student, starting with just a couple of wieners and increasing the size of my stock with each turnover.
I attended Saint Kentigern Collage as a day student from year 7 through to year 13. During this time I completed NCEA level 1,2 and 3. I was involved in a number of co-curricular activities for the school including hockey, triathlon, cycling, and motocross.
