Summary

After running my own small successful business for 17 years, I have become accustomed to wear many hats.

I have a great work ethic and always know how to prioritise my work load and meet timelines.

Being in a salon environment for so many years has made me adaptable and able to work in a fast past environment, and has given me extensive customer service experience.

I am capable of working in a team or own my own.

From dealing with hiring and managing staff for so long I am also very aware of what it takes to be a great employee.
