Summary

I am currently seeking a position within the education sector. I have over 16 years’ experience in reception duties and working face to face with customers. I pride myself on great customer service. I am a mother of 2 young children and would like to move over into the education sector as I have a strong work ethic but also want to spend as much time with my children as they are growing up, so working within education would be perfect.
