Summary

Needing a fresh change. Although I loved working within the animal and customer service industry i am looking for a change or career to help mentor and assist with Dynamic Security within Queensland Corrections. I was a salon manager with proven expertise in customer service and team leadership at Pet Barn, and i know working within Corrections would further my skills. Skilled in staff training and sales management, I excel in enhancing operational efficiency and fostering a positive work environment. Committed to animal welfare, I effectively oversee daily salon operations while mentoring a dedicated team.
