Accounting & Bookkeeping Tutor
I obtained a Bachelor of Business Studies majoring in Accounting from Waikato Institute of Technology. During my time studying, I mentored several international students in a range of topics including commercial law, marketing, accounting & finance. Not only did this give me lots of energy watching my students grow, it also deepened my understanding of these topics as well as how to relate to people.
It is no surprise that I came to The Career Academy – with a teacher for a mother, it’s just in my blood.
Outside of work, I like to relax by playing football with my teenage sons, dance to Baila music, read, or cook delicious meals with my wife.
