Summary

Being in continued employment since leaving school I have developed many qualities that make me a well rounded individual. 27 Years experience in a customer focused role has allowed me to develop a friendly,enthusiastic and professional approach to dealing with customer requests.

Working predominantly in a high paced food service role, as a manager, has forced me to be very methodical,critical and organised about the work I execute, many responsibilities such as training new staff,managing staff and ensuring legal requirements and documentation are kept compliant hs shaped me into a responsible, trustworthy team player.

I completed a Computer Studies Course in 2023 to further develop my digital skills, which has enabled mt to transfer my vast skill set to a different working sector in order to challenge myself and continue to build upon my character in my most current post of Receptionist/ Admin Assistant.
