Summary
I am a hands-on learner with a love for adventure and meeting new people. I enjoy exercise most mornings and focus on self-improvement. I am currently an outdoor education student at Tai Poutini Polytech in Greymouth where I learn outdoor, social, leadership and medical skills. I love white water kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking, tramping and mountaineering. I pride myself on learning new skills.
