To Whom it May Concern Letter of introduction for Trent Rippey, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty. Born in Tauranga I received my education at the local schools, years 1 to 8 at Bethlehem College leaving there to proud pupil at Tauranga Boys College for my secondary school years. Visual Communication and Design have been a large part of my secondary school education and an area at which I have excelled, being top student for visual communication in years 11 and 12. I currently hold an excellence endorsement level 1, 2 and 3 for Visual Communications, and a merit endorsed level 1 and 2 for design, seeking an excellence endorsement for level 3. My vision for the future is to become a well rounded designer with my own distinct style. My aspiration would be to have a Bachelor of Design and own my own design business using my distinct style to inspire other designers and those around me. My life has been and still is very busy. I am a passionate sailor who has presented NZ on the world stage at overseas regattas from the age of 10 years. This has meant that I have had extended periods of time away from school having to work extra hours to complete workloads. Currently I am with Yachting NZ as a fast track, carded athlete preparing an Olympic campaign with a fellow teammate/sailing partner from Hamilton.
I was the Captain of the Tauranga Boys College Sailing team years 2013 and 2014 and have been a member of school hockey and snow skiing teams. I enjoy a variety of other social sports such as golf, surfing, water skiing, cycling and skateboarding. Thank you for accepting my application, should you wish to meet with me I am more than happy to attend a meeting at any time convenient for you. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours Sincerely
Trent Rippey Ph 0273320183
The End.
