Summary

I have developed lots of great communication and customer management skills across multiple industries prior to becoming a mother. Since then I have learnt a new level of patience and a curiosity to learn new things. I started sewing masks during covid, this then developed to upcycling clothing and eventually croquet and knitting to a good standard. I also learnt and developed new culinary skills, not only for feeding some fussy children, but baking cakes and desserts. I have also catered all of the birthday parties in this time, working to a deadline and accounting for different dietary requirements.
