Poppy McKellar

My name is Poppy McKellar, I am 17 years old and a friendly, organised, and hardworking school leaver with over 2 years of experience in a busy salon environment. Through both my work at Elle Cheveux Hairdressers and McKellar Law, I have developed strong communication and customer service skills, which have allowed me to develop a strong confidence when working with the public. I enjoy building good relationships with my team and customers and working well to timings which I know is important when working in a fast-paced environment.

I am always up for a challenge, and I'm always looking for opportunities to further develop my skills and learning in the workplace.
