Summary

I have years of experience in multitasking from being a store manager, sales person, finance officer, stock controller, customer service consultant, marketing and a few skills and knowledge in business. Coming from a business oriented family where I had my first experiences in everything that I now know, I have learnt to cope with different situations that can arise. With any task given, I give more than a 100% to get results that would make everyone happy and have a productive day. I have learnt a lot from past experiences and love learning more. Very bubbly personality and always positive.
