Summary

Dedicated and trustworthy professional with over 13 years of long-term employment at The Warehouse, bringing extensive experience in customer service, sales support, stock handling, merchandising, and working effectively within large team environments. Recognised for reliability, strong work ethic, and the ability to adapt to changing priorities while maintaining high standards of service and accuracy.

Following this, I undertook the role of full-time caregiver for a close family member, where I managed day-to-day personal care, medical appointments, medication routines, household management, and emotional support. This experience strengthened my organisational skills, time management, discretion, and ability to remain calm and compassionate under pressure. It also required a high level of responsibility, independence, and commitment.

I am now seeking to re-enter the workforce and bring my proven dependability, people-focused approach, and strong practical skills to a role where I can contribute positively, learn quickly, and add long-term value to an organisation.
