Summary

Have worked my way up through the supermarket chain Woolworth's. Starting as a checkout operator and deli assistant and ending up in multiple management roles. while studying at the same time.

Worked as a personal trainer as I'm passionate about keeping healthy and fit. While also helping others achieve there goals they set.

I'm hardworking as I have done 80 work weeks while maintaining a positive uplifting attitude for those around me. If I set myself a goal i will achieve it, its just a matter of time. Aswell as keeping myself accountable for what I say. If I say something ill do it. No ifs, Buts or Ahhs.

Have had a level of responsibility for managing myself and teams over the past few years. Achievements I'm most proud of.

  • Passing governments audits
  • Training of new team on safety processes and documenting everything we do.
  • Increasing revenue for stores I have been involved in.
  • Always being someone that wants to help.
