Summary

I’m super passionate about fashion and would love for the opportunity to bring my skills and energy to a brand like Kookai. With experience at Seed Heritage and Kmart, I’ve learned how to connect with customers, style outfits that make people feel great in , and keep a store running smoothly. I’m friendly, reliable, and always ready to jump in and help out wherever it’s needed. More than anything, I want to grow in the fashion industry and be part of a team that loves what they do.
