I am a highly motivated and adaptable professional with experience as both a NDIS sole trader and store manager in the retail sector. With a strong passion for helping others and delivering outstanding service, I excel in both person-centered disability support and customer-focused retail management.
As a NDIS sole trader, I am dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities by providing personalised support that enhances their independence and overall quality of life. My ability to build strong relationships, adapt to diverse needs and navigate NDIS processes ensures that participants receive the highest level of care and assistance.
In my role as a store manager, I have successfully led teams to drive sales, enhance store operations and provide exceptional customer service. I take pride in creating welcoming shopping experience, maintaining high standards of visual merchandising, and implementing strategies that improve business performance.
With a strong commitment to excellence, I bring people-first approach to both disability support and retail management. My diverse experience has equipped me with exceptional communication, problem-solving and organisational skills, allowing me to thrive in fast-paced environments while maintaining a high level of professionalism and care.
