What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my customer service skills in a supportive environment, ideally within the veterinary or healthcare sectors, where I can continue to grow and make a positive impact.

I'm an experienced customer service professional with a proven track record in various roles that require strong interpersonal skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure. My journey began as a Receptionist and Assistant Hairdresser at Extraordinhair, where I honed my ability to manage client relationships and ensure a positive experience for every visitor. This role taught me the importance of creating a welcoming environment and addressing client needs effectively.

Transitioning to the NHS Logistics as a Warehouse Operative, I developed my organizational skills by managing stock and conducting regular inventory checks. My most recent position as a Patient Care Assistant at Pet Doctors has allowed me to combine my passion for animals with my customer service expertise. I assist veterinary professionals in providing care to animals while ensuring a clean and safe environment. My ability to communicate effectively with pet owners and provide them with essential updates and care instructions has been crucial in building trust and rapport.
