I am a friendly, outgoing, genuine and personable individual with a solid work ethic. I have completed Secondary (NCEA Level 1,2 and 3) and Tertiary education, last year being awarded Top Student in City and Guilds (London) Inc. Certificate in Beauty Therapy. I am a hard worker with high levels of motivation and dedication. I have much experience in dance, with 15 years training and performance credit. I enjoy working with others and meeting new people. I am honest and trustworthy and have great people skills from work experience in retail and customer service. I enjoy spending my spare time working for charities such as Cure Kids and SAFE. In the future I hope to be helping other people and doing something I love. My goal in life is to make a positive impact in some way. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile :)
