  With the aim of designing a human-powered vehicle capable of going 100 km/h (New Zealand and Southern hemisphere record), I started a club based around vehicle innovation.

• Independence Coach

  • Feb 2021 - Jun 2022

  I worked part-time as an independence coach for a 30-year-old individual missing the 22-q gene(similar to autism). My main tasks involve helping him cook, working on his talking skills, ensuring he is safe(both mentally and physically), and walking with him and his dog. I am someone who he can talk to freely which is critical for people who struggle with social skills.
