Summary
My broad experience within both full and part-time jobs consists of roles in diverse settings, from retail to various hospitality sectors, where I honed my skills in confidence, communication, and multitasking. Holding a passion for the arts, I have pursued undergraduate studies in the field, hoping to continue in this sector post-university. Now, I am eager to transition my career further into an artistic environment, seeking a role that merges my extensive background in customer-focused industries with my education and personal passion for artistry. I am enthusiastic about contributing to a team that shares this passion, utilising my skills to assist and connect within these spaces.
