Summary

I have over 10 years of experience in sales and customer service most of which within the property sector. I've always gravitated towards the property industry because it's such an important part of people's lives and emotions are quite often running high; I thrive on making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. I like to be well-presented and work well in a "buzzy" office environment.
