Summary
Hardworking and motivated, with hands-on experience in mechanical repairs, working with farm machinery, and doing general maintenance. I started learning practical skills early by helping in my family’s business and working in real workshop environments. I’m now looking to build a career as a motor technician, where I can keep learning and growing my skills. I have a strong interest in vehicles, especially motorbikes, and enjoy working with my hands. I pick things up quickly, work well in busy settings, and always aim to do a good job. I’m Safe Pass certified (valid until May 2027), and I work well both on my own and as part of a team.
