Certification

I came to Australia in 2007 from Serbia, so I speak both Serbian and English. I have first aid certificate which my employer was providing with. I am friendly and love talking to the customers. I always look forward to learn something new.

I worked at Myer through a lot of different departments which gave me more knowledge about products we had in a store.
