Summary

Energetic young individual familiar with many skills.

Possess remarkable multi-tasking and listening abilities. Seek to leverage industry experience, enthusiasm and gain knowledge to take on new challenge in a growing operation.


As well as developing excellent customer service skills, I have also learnt the importance of teamwork, although I am equally able to work confidently on my own. I have proven that I am able to develop positive relationships within the workplace coupled with my ability to be flexible and adaptable when necessary. Along with that, I am able to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment, whilst still maintaining customer service standards and expectations.

From a young age, I have always been helping people. Whether it’s volunteering or a paid role, I love making people smile and providing a good service to all.
