About Jacob Baker

Jacob Baker Wellington College Karori Wellington, 6012 021 287 7665 jacobdylanbaker@gmail.com Experience Delaware North (Corporate Service) 2021 - Current In 2021 I began my first job working for Delaware North and it has been an extremely rewarding experience. They have provided me with great opportunities that I am immensely grateful for such as the ‘hospo savvy’ course where I underwent multiple NCEA papers to upskill my hospitality abilities. Thornhill Horticultural Contracting Ltd 2022 In the beginning of 2022 I was contracted to work at one of Craigmore Sustainables vineyard’s. I worked at the vineyard for 5 weeks and although the job involved lots of early starts and was entirely manual labor I thoroughly enjoyed it and got to experience working with an extremely diverse crew. Maranui Cafe 2022 - 2023 I began working for Maranui Cafe in 2022. As a kitchen hand I learnt how to work efficiently and productively while being able to cope with stress during busy periods such as public holidays. I am very grateful to have dealt with this stress as I learnt how to stay calm and composed while being under pressure. Education Wellington College 2019 - 2023 In 2019 I began my time at Wellington College. Throughout this time I met many great friends, teachers, and role models. I am blessed to have gone to such a great school and to have had so many opportunities handed to me. I have been given a wonderful education not only academically but also in the ways of becoming a kind and respectful man.
