I deliver welcoming customer service, manage bookings, and keep busy front desks running smoothly.
What I'm looking for
I've supported guests and customers at Premier Inn and Pho, managing bookings, appointments, enquiries, payments, records, and front-of-house service in busy environments.
I'm currently studying Level 2 Hairdressing at HairStation, where I consult with clients and support reception duties. My fashion photography education and modelling work have strengthened my communication, organisation, and collaboration with creative teams.
