Summary

I’m a motivated and people-focused retail and hospitality professional with 5 years of hands-on experience, recently graduated and ready to take the next step in my career. I love connecting with customers, building genuine relationships, and creating experiences that keep them coming back — whether that’s helping someone find their perfect purchase or making sure their meal and service are spot on from start to finish.

I’ve worked in both luxury retail and restaurant environments, where attention to detail and a high standard of service really matter. I’m confident in fast-paced, customer-facing settings like busy shop floors or restaurant shifts, and I know how to multitask while staying focused and in control. I take initiative, stay organised, and can be trusted to handle things without needing to be asked twice. I genuinely enjoy working with a team to hit ambitious sales or service goals, and I’m now looking for a role where I can keep developing my skills while adding real value to a company I believe in.
