Summary

I am a dynamic, highly motivated individual who is keen to seek new challenges. Energetic and enthusiastic, I work equally well alone or as part of a team. I am reliable and conscientious, friendly and positive. Although my background was mainly in hospitality, I have successfully transferred my existing capabilities to customer service and sales while developing new skills to further my career opportunities .
