Summary

A well-organized professional equipped with varied experience in sales/administrative/customer service roles. Driven, with excellent client relationship-building skills and proven success in previous positions. I am detail orientated, driven to succeed and confident in my abilities to always achieve excellent results. An organised and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude always. A strong willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals and learn. Hardworking, passionate and driven to minimize costs and learn from previous experiences and projects. I strongly believe in being able to listen to feedback an constructive criticism in order to learn and improve.

As the partner of a local builder with 20 plus years experience, although we are fairly new to Blenheim I am familiar with the industry and how important cost effectiveness and budget is for any project big or small. I have completed the accounts and admin side of the business for a number of years and thoroughly enjoyed it.
