Following completion of High School in 2000 I joined the Royal New Zealand Navy with the goal of becoming a Medic.  Since joining I have worked my way up to Petty Officer Medic and served on various ship's and also completed land based missions.

I am a self motivated and goal orientated individual.  In the future I would like to complete a Bachelor of Human Health and the Environment, which I have been studying towards whilst in the Navy.

Although applying for jobs external to the Navy I still have a passion to remain in the maritime environment.
