Summary
I am a 27-year-old New Zealander with a dairy-farming and science background. Motivated and excited to take on new challenges, I am adaptable and level-headed with a desire to produce high-quality results. Previous work experience has helped me to become proficient at thinking critically, weighing up situations and making important decisions quickly, and working independently. After working at Glen Grant Distillery for a season, I am interested in returning to the wine industry and gaining some international experience.
