Summary

A dynamic Sales Associate with a proven track record at Shaver Shop Ltd, excelling in exceptional customer service and effective team collaboration. Skilled in POS system operation and visual merchandising, I consistently hit sales goals while resolving customer inquiries and enhancing their shopping experience.

Outside of work I have a keen interest in sustainable rocket development, as well as scrap metal recycling and electrochemistry. I have built and tested a blast furnace capable of melting scrap copper, and have designed and tested a rocket motor fueled by sustainably sourced sugar-based fuel.
