EMPLOYMENT WANTED
Name: Katrina Thoma-Koch and Hernan Rios Vergara
Email: 86kattk@gmail.com
My partner and I are hard workers, love the outdoors, and can improvise when necessary. We are fit, and like a challenge. We have good organisational skills, take pride in our work, have an eye for detail and take ownership of our responsibilities. We are always looking at ways to improve what we do, and are open to receive feedback.
I grew up in Golden Bay on a small scale beef farm which later branched out to organic horticulture and sheep. I was involved from the beginning with everything including tree-planting, fencing, spraying, orchard work and organic vegetable production and sales. I also introduced and managed a flock of Wiltshire sheep which have fitted well into the rotation.
My partner, Hernan, and I met in Chile while I was studying Development Studies and he was Studying Social Anthropology. After finishing those studies, he came to New Zealand where he has been now for 10 years. Following a tourism and mountaineering work-history in Chile, he has been working in various agricultural and farm jobs in New Zealand, including shearing and chainsaw work. We have two children, Antu, 1.5 years old, and Emilia, 5.5 years old, and are now ready to find a long-term position to get stuck into as a family. We are drug free and non-smokers. My passion is in organic agriculture, but we are looking for a starting point as a family, and would consider any job including station cook, gardener/grounds person.
Thank you for your consideration, feel free to request our C.Vs for more work experience and skills, or contact me for a chat.
Your sincerely,
Katrina and Hernan
