About
I am a well-driven, dedicated and creative individual with exceptional customer service skills that are complemented by an abundance of valuable qualifications. As well as these essential attributes, I am also a highly motivated lady with a strong work ethic, capable of effectively working as part of a team, as well as being confident enough to lead and take initiative, whilst successfully being able to complete tasks independently. My ability to work as part of a team and individually has undoubtedly been enhanced within every role afforded to me.
These skills have been refined in both the hospitality and retail industry when helping other colleagues with any queries that may arise on the shop floor, whether it be when dealing with customers or aiding new team members when operating the till systems. I am also very eager to learn and expand my knowledge wherever possible.
