Summary

Aspiring construction professional with a background in sales and customer service, looking to gain practical experience in the construction industry. While my hands-on experience in construction is limited, I gained some insight into the field while in Zimbabwe and have developed a foundation through my university courses. My experience as a Sales Assistant at Sketchers honed my communication skills and taught me the importance of teamwork in achieving shared goals. I am eager to learn, contribute, and grow within the industry through this cadet opportunity.
