Summary
As a professional, I have a strong work ethic that has been applied in various roles during my career. I am keen to transfer my experience and add new skills to move forward in the gardening industry as that is where my passion lies. I have experience in customer facing roles and sales including telesales services. I am courteous, reliable and punctual. I am very comprehensive using my initiative and working individually. I am equally as strong working as part of a team partially due to my experience in supervisory and management roles. I am very versatile and have performed different roles in my recent history, as such, intricacies like etiquette and health and safety have become second nature to me and allowed me to become a fast and efficient learner. I would welcome the opportunity to direct my career and align it with my passions and build upon my current knowledge base.
