Summary

I am a full-time student with retail marketing expertise and a track record in enhancing customer support and organisational efficiency. I can demonstrate communication skills and can adapt to lesson planning and health and safety compliance. I'm skilled in cash handling, cash register maintenance, and managing stock transfers, with a strong focus on time management. I am committed to contributing to team success through active participation in presentations and proposals. I have also taken roles in being the representative in my class, which involves attending meetings to process feedback from and to my peers and being a member of the academic council at the university, where I take part in what the university can do to improve their education and what events happen. These allow me to then attend and run student events for others.
