Summary

I am dedicated, hard-working and committed to delivering high-quality results. I am always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that tasks are completed efficiently and effectively. I enjoy interacting with customers and strive to create a positive and welcoming experience for them.

Alongside of being a primary school teacher, I have worked as a sales assistant in busy convenience stores and I have experience working as a floor person in a cafe. My experience in creating positive dining experiences for customers and supervising and ensuring the health and well-being of children in the classroom has taught me how to effectively communicate and meet the needs of different individuals. My diverse background has provided me with a well-rounded set of skills that can contribute to delivering exceptional customer service.
