Lucy Skentelbery
@lucyskentelbery1
Customer-focused office and administration professional with strong data entry and Excel skills.
What I'm looking for
I’m an enthusiastic, motivated worker with over 5 years of working experience in fast-paced, customer-facing environments. I’m comfortable working alone or as part of a team, and I take pride in being organised, attentive to detail, and able to communicate politely and confidently.
From barista, waitress, and kitchen assistant work to receptionist and optical administration, I’ve supported customers while keeping operations running smoothly—answering calls and emails, scheduling appointments, handling enquiries, and completing data entry and administration tasks. I’ve also worked on online business administration (including keeping track of orders across eBay, Amazon, and my website, and updating inventory in Microsoft Excel) and I’m currently building my technical path through coding and full stack training.
