Gaby first entered the Pacific Toyota team as a work experience student in 2022, working one day a week, while completing her level three Automotive Engineering Certificate through Toi Ohomai. Even as a student, it was clear that Gaby wasn’t just here to gain experience, she was also here to learn, work hard, and excel. From the start, her eagerness to understand the technical side of the trade was matched only by her unwavering determination. Whether it was her approach to a mechanical job or her attitude in the workplace, Gaby has always displayed the dedication and effort of someone on the path to success. It was not unusual for her to literally run to get the job done, always going above and beyond expectations, taking initiative wherever possible.

Recognising this work ethic and enthusiasm, Pacific Toyota was thrilled to offer her a permanent position as an apprentice in 2022, where she has become an integral part of the team.
