Summary
Kia Ora! I am motivated, reliable and eager. I work well individually but also enjoy being part of a team. As a former dance teacher forming connections is important, as well as keeping up to date with what is happening in the creative community. I am well versed in hospitality, retail and customer satisfaction standards, and have a natural knack for building relationships with different kinds of people.
