Summary

Compassionate and dedicated individual with multiple volunteer experiences in community-based op shops, and also experiences in hospitality. These roles helped me develop strong interpersonal and communication skills while assisting customers from diverse cultural backgrounds, including elderly and vulnerable individuals. I am now seeking to further grow in a family or community support role, where I can continue to support and empower others.
