Summary

Hello there I'm Kevin, a 22-year-old from New Zealand, now living in Vancouver while my girlfriend studies at UBC. Since I’m a dual citizen, I decided to pause my studies to join her and take the opportunity to work and live in Canada. I’ve been working from a young age and pride myself on having a strong work ethic and great values. I’m reliable, hardworking, and always willing to jump in and do whatever’s needed. I believe in being on time, staying positive, and giving 100%—qualities that I hope would make me a great fit for your team if you would have me. Please reach out if there is any information I can provide for you :)
