Summary

I am a very reliable and efficient worker. I am a fast learner who likes organisation and i always strive to excel in any position i am given. I purchased my cafe at 24 years of age and now at 30, i believe i am ready to find new skills in a different industry. I believe with my experience of strategic planning and franchise management, being self-motivated, driven to learn and succeed, this would be a great opportunity and a position i will thrive in.
