Summary

For years, I’ve been eager to step into retail, and now that the opportunity has opened up, I’m confident that my background makes me an ideal fit. With experience in fast-paced customer service roles at a restaurant, a factory, and in healthcare, I’ve developed skills that align perfectly with retail. I’m known for my openness to learning and sharing ideas, my strong teamwork, and my diligence.

Studying nursing part-time has sharpened my communication abilities and taught me to connect easily with strangers, a skill I’m excited to bring to customer interactions. I’m ready to contribute positively and build great customer experiences with every interaction.
