Summary
Gap year student with a strong interest in fashion, real shop floor experience, and a natural confidence with people. I worked at Selfridges in both sales and personal shopping, gaining experience in fast-paced, style-focused retail. More recently, I spent over a year at Boost Trampoline Park, balancing part-time work with studies — building solid customer service skills, staying calm under pressure, and handling 200+ customers a day during peak hours. I’m looking to bring energy, good teamwork, and reliability to a retail team that values personality and presentation.
