Summary

I have extensive retail experience in a variety of fields, including designer brands, ceramic crafts, education and design promotion. I have strong communication skills, and as President of RMIT's largest design society, I not only coordinate my committee's work, but I am also able to liaise closely with the university, including prominent design industry insiders. My extensive work experience has given me the ability to deal with different clients in a way that makes everyone I serve feel comfortable. My understanding of aesthetics also allows me to recommend the right products for the customer, as well as to make the store's furnishings look harmonious and beautiful.
