Kate Delehanty is clocking up the miles from her family home in Okaiwa this summer, as she travels around the area for her summer job.
Kate is one of the Cookie Time cookie sellers this year, a job she said she “couldn’t believe” she had got.
“I’d found out about the Cookie Time summer job programme last year but was busy with exams, so knew I wanted to apply this year. I put my application in but hadn’t expected to be successful because I know how many people apply for the jobs each year. I was really pleased when they told me I had been successful.”
Kate, who has just completed her first year at Lincoln University studying for a bachelor’s degree in agribusiness and food marketing, says the job appealed to her from the start.
“I like the idea of learning about running your own business, it’s a good skill to learn that will help me in the future.”
