Summary
I am a hard-working and reliable person with experience in customer-facing and team-based roles. Having worked in both a school environment and a busy restaurant, I have developed strong communication skills, a professional manner, and the ability to work well under pressure. I take pride in delivering a consistently high standard of work and I am now looking to bring my dedication and people skills to a retail environment where I can continue to grow and develop.
