Great stuff

Radio NZ reports:

A young wahine Māori is hoping to integrate te ao Māori into her business one slice at a time after becoming a Pizza Hut franchisee at just 22 years old.

Caitlyn Lewin (Ngāti Mutunga o Wharekauri and Rangitāne o Wairau) started working at Pizza Hut at the age of 15 with no CV, just a handwritten note.

“It was the first ever job I gave my CV in to. I didn’t even have a CV at the time. I just wrote some random stuff on a paper at the library and just took it in. Got an interview, got the job, and literally started washing dishes three days a week.”

Now, at 22 years old, she owns her own store in Tawa, Wellington.

That’s incredible and great.

Lewin climbed the ladder, and by 17, she was a duty manager, juggling high school, working 40 hours a week, and representing New Zealand in softball.

Great work ethic.
