​I’m 21 years old and live in Mt Albert, Central Auckland. I completed the New Zealand Certificate in Automotive Engineering Level 3 at Unitec, where I developed a strong foundation in light vehicle servicing. I’m particularly interested in high-performance engines and light automotive systems. My short-term goal is to find a job in the automotive industry and begin my career, while continuing with a Level 4 apprenticeship and eventually pursuing a Bachelor’s degree. Long-term, I aim to open my own garage business. I’ve gained hands-on experience through roles at KNZ Painters Limited, Massey High School Workshop, and New Port Panel and Paint. These experiences have helped me build practical skills and a strong work ethic. I’m also interested in working with electric and hybrid vehicle systems.
