Summary
Enthusiastic and friendly individual returning to college in early September to continue my studies. Excellent self discipline from years of practicing a variety of instruments and studying whilst balancing 2 part-time jobs, and more recently learning and demonstrating the skills needed to be a customer service supervisor. Actively seeking jobs to work around my existing work schedule. After working in hospitality for two years and retail for a further three, I have gained experience in many areas making me a great candidate for any job roles that require working with the public.
