Summary

I'm Abbie, and in 2023 l embarked on a once in a lifetime trip around the world of which I spent three months in Australia. I fell in love with Australia, of which I have decided to settle in Melbourne on a WHV(417). I'm inspired and adamant to find a career here and live here indefinitely. I previously was a sales advisor, however I worked my way up to a team leader, having had experience in the job before. I have also worked in sales marketing and administration work. Due to these demanding roles I have accumulated a wide range set of skills and understand making my way up in companies. I have always loved customer facing jobs and being able to connect with a customer and give a personalised experience. The previous jobs have made me a hard and determined worker who has a strong work ethic and I strive to achieve as much as possible within the company or place of work. I am passionate, determined and adaptable with anything that I set myself up to and am always up for challenging myself to further my skill set.

I'm an easily approachable and friendly person who enjoys meeting new people and consider myself a dedicated worker.
