Summary
I am extremely passionate about all things business, the bad and the good. Whether it is working on business-customer relationships or simply mopping the floors after my shift, I can guarantee that 100% of my effort will be given in any task. I am an exceptionally friendly and sociable person and love to help people meet their end goal, even if that is just assisting in a low-risk purchase such as a candle, I am determined. I have always held myself to a high standard and intend to do so for the rest of my life as I believe it encourages productivity and good results. I have experience in multiple industries, from each I have learnt to be a confident, reliable, and fast learning individual. I constantly strive for performance excellence and am absolutely certain that I can make contributions to the overall success of your company.
