Summary
I am a 19-year-old university student at the University of Otago, pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Physiology and a minor in Pharmacology. My academic journey has equipped me with valuable knowledge and skills. I am a dedicated, fast learner and great with technology.
My knowledge of cosmetic science, particularly its biological aspects, enables me to help customers choose the right skincare and cosmetic products. I can provide informed recommendations based on individual skin types and concerns. I'm skilled at explaining product ingredients and their benefits, ensuring customers make well-informed decisions for their needs. Additionally, my knowledge extends to vitamins and fragrances too.
My experiences as a mental health advocate in high school have sharpened my communication skills and equipped me with essential life skills. I am confident in my capacity to contribute positively to any team or company.
