Summary

Friendly, reliable and customer-focused individual with a strong background in hospitality, retail and customer service. Experienced in delivering excellent service within fast-paced environments while maintaining a calm and positive attitude under pressure.

After several years as a full-time carer for my child with additional needs, I am now eager to return to part-time work. During this time, I have developed exceptional patience, organisation, resilience and

problem-solving skills.

Although my previous experience is primarily within customer-facing roles, I am highly adaptable and eager to learn. I am open to opportunities across a variety of industries and confident in my ability to quickly develop new skills and contribute positively to any team.
