Summary

I am a creative, people-focused professional with a BA in Fine Arts, and a strong background in educational support and customer-facing roles. At Anzuk, I have developed a track record of building relationships, adapting to individual needs, improving engagement through clear communication, and problem-solving. My experience across education, retail, and hospitality has equipped me with transferable skills in organization, multitasking, and understanding what motivates people—all of which I’m keen to bring to a new environment.
