What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my customer service skills while exploring opportunities in fashion design and sewing.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in customer service and fashion design. My journey began with a Level 2 Certificate in Fashion Designing from the Rural Family Support Organization, where I honed my skills and developed a keen eye for detail. I have always been passionate about creating and designing, which led me to become a self-employed seamstress, allowing me to express my creativity while serving clients.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in retail and customer service roles, including positions as a Retail Customer Service Representative and Cashier at Pings Fabrics. My ability to connect with customers and provide exceptional service has been a key factor in my success. I am also proud to have served as a member of the prefect body and as the vice president of the wellness club during my school years, which helped me develop strong leadership and teamwork skills.
