Monique Morton

Highly organised, self-motivated and adaptable professional with eight years of experience independently running a client-focused business. As the owner of The Lash Room since 2018, I manage day-to-day administration, appointment scheduling, client communication and the operational demands of a busy service-based business. My background in education has further developed my planning, communication, documentation, time-management and problem-solving skills.

I am confident working independently, comfortable learning new systems and passionate about providing reliable, professional support that keeps people and businesses organised.
