Management professional with demonstrable skills in building and maintaining strong, lasting relationships with customers and other stakeholders.
Throughout my career, I have been consistently recognised for my strong leadership skills and have been promoted to management roles with responsibility for meeting expected business targets, applying policies and managing staff and customer relationships.
I am a fast learner, and can quickly understand and interpret processes and, where necessary, devise creative solutions to more “non-routine” problems. I have strong attention to detail, and am a self-starter with the ability to determine and set my own goals.
A key aspect of my role with SA Aquatic & Leisure Centre has been the responsibility for management of more challenging customer complaints related to the swim school and have consistently been recognised for ensuring customers are not only retained but happy with the outcome.
In a previous role as Branch Manager for GE Money, I was awarded sales-person of the year in South Australia for selling the most mortgages, which reflects my ability to gain trust and meet customer needs whilst achieving and exceeding business outcomes. My conversion rate for generating loan applications through cold calling was second to none, leading to the request to develop a script that was utilised across Australia.
With a background in marketing/communications, holding both an undergraduate and masters degree in the field, I grasp a high level of academic and practical understanding in this area. This has aided to underpin my ability to be both customer and product/sales centric.
My personal passion is writing, having written two books, one of which I am currently in the process of publishing. Additionally, I have commenced an editing course with hopes of completing in the near future.
