Summary
I’m a motivated and adaptable individual with strong communication, teamwork, and organisational skills developed through a mix of customer-facing, hospitality, retail, and event management experience.

My experience at the SL Shop has given me valuable product management skills whilst enhancing my understanding of digital marketing and e-commerce. I’m passionate about brand development, consumer behaviour, and using data-driven insights to support marketing and management success.
