Summary

I am a reliable and organised individual with a background in administration, hospitality, and business support. I’ve spent much of my career working in busy environments, supporting teams and dealing with people on a day-to-day basis, which has helped me develop a calm and approachable manner.

More recently, I have been running my own small business alongside family life, which has strengthened my flexibility, time management, and customer service skills. I enjoy working with people, take pride in being helpful, and am looking for a part-time role where I can contribute to a friendly team and provide a positive experience for customers.
