Rhea Joetendra Patel

I am a driven MSc Pharmaceutical Sciences student with a background in Biochemistry and Cell Biology, and strong communication, organizational and documentation skills. Aside from academics, I have a strong passion for fashion, cosmetics and fragrances and I enjoy keeping up with current trends and exploring new products. Additionally, being an international student, I am a sociable and interactive individual who is comfortable working with people from different backgrounds and all ages.

Therefore, I am seeking a part-time retail position where I can contribute to a positive customer experience while developing my customer service and retail skills.
