Summary

My resume reflects my passion and experience in the beauty industry. I feel a lot of my skills in my current career and in my experience as being a mother will transfer well over to my exciting new career choice!


I help and support a lot of people in the role I have now and I would love to make this change and take a massive leap of faith.


I am willing to study and do anything I need to do to better myself and be a great and positive team member going forward.


Naturally I am a very social bubbly happy and positive person. I have so much love care and empathy within me and I feel this role helping the more vulnerable in our community would be a perfect place to start.
