What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in fitness and psychology while contributing to a dynamic team.

I am a driven and diligent prospective employee, dedicated to attaining excellence and advancing in my areas of interest, which include fitness, psychology, and financial markets/sales. My aspiration is to earn a master's degree in clinical neuropsychology and cognitive sciences after gaining substantial experience in both the fitness and sales/financial sectors.

My recent role as a Casual Safety Adviser at ZipZoomAdventures allowed me to guarantee ongoing safety measures for customers while facilitating the processing of consent forms and handling grievances with professionalism. I have also engaged in sales, marketing diverse products to generate leads and ensure customer satisfaction, demonstrating my ability to work effectively under pressure.
