Summary

For the past 9 years I have been travelling and living in Australia and Canada where I moved career from labour and machine operating into a more customer care focused environment. I have a strong appetite for sales and find myself able to communicate with clients easily. I am currently looking to get into a position where I can really push myself to do the best for my clients whilst also doing the best for myself as I am very money motivated. I enjoy problem solving and even more so in achieving goals and hitting my targets.
