Summary

I consider myself an enthusiastic Interior Design Student ready to immerse myself in the design world. My passion for design was amplified when myself and my husband embarked on a home renovation in 2018. From this renovation we won a HIA Home Renovation Award in 2020. Since this time we have moved homes and have began yet another renovation. At the start of this year I decided to put my passion for Interior Design as a priority and enrolled at The Interior Design Institute. Previous roles I have worked in both team-based and independent capacities. Bringing strong work ethic and excellent organisational skills to any setting. I have an excellent eye for detail, am task focused and self motivated to reach the goals I set for myself.

I would be honoured if you would consider me for the part time Saturday’s Sale Guru position you currently have advertised.
