What I'm looking for

I am seeking a customer-facing retail role where I can apply my sales and stock-management skills, grow into supervisory responsibilities, and work within a collaborative, service-oriented team.

I am a customer-focused sales associate with a BA (2:1) in English and Philosophy who delivers high-quality service in fast-paced retail settings. I have proven experience handling transactions, managing stock, and supporting opening and closing procedures while consistently meeting targets and maintaining attention to detail.

I combine strong written and verbal communication, research and analytical skills from academic work with practical retail experience at an international apparel retailer. I am hardworking, reliable, and adept at working both independently and as part of a team to achieve results.
