New to the team at hvt ltd - Damien Walsh Hello my name is Damien Walsh, but family and friends call me ‘Dee’. I was born and raised in Australia and have been living in this beautiful country since June this year. Why did I move to New Zealand? Well after holidaying here a couple of times, I found myself continually drawn to the people, palaces and the culture. Four years ago, I met a Kiwi girl (who had moved to Australia), and last year we married overlooking the stunning mountain views near Marton. It was then that I knew I had to move here some day. I have had the fortune to travel and live in almost every state of Australia, and one of the most interesting things for me are the different types of people that I have met throughout these travels. With the natural disasters that both our countries have had to endure, and the distress that people go through, it is comforting to see that we share the common ability to pull together as communities, cities and a people as a whole. I take pride knowing when things are at their worst, we are at our best. I have a diverse background from living in the scorching outback desert, to the bright lights of Sydney. I have made career changes from teaching in remote Aboriginal communities in the far north of Australia, to running multi-million dollar contracts for an international facilities company. I have been very fortunate with the opportunity to return to the Tertiary education Sector, through my appointment as Tutor and Work Co-ordinator for hvt ltd. Carol, Elena, Barbara and Kevin have ensured that my transition to the Kiwi work culture has been seamless something I am very grateful for. The students are a pleasure to work with, and if I can ever become accustomed to this freezing cold weather (and the occasional rumble of tectonic plates), I am sure it won’t be long before I feel that I am home.
