Kaiaho | Graduate
I am a recent graduate from the University of Canterbury and am passionate about the environment and the conservation of New Zealand’s native species. Through my university studies I have gained competencies in lab skills, field work, report writing, information processing, and interpersonal communication.
Since joining the team, I've worked on a wide range of projects across the South Island. These include pest animal control plans, biodiversity monitoring prescriptions, freshwater ecology field work, assisting with LINZ weed control, and wilding pines projects.
I thoroughly enjoy my role and collaborating with other disciplines. I take pride in the work I have been involved in and making a positive difference to New Zealand's ecosystem. I am looking forward to progressing my career in the biosecurity space!
