In My Own Words

With over 20 years of international experience, I would love to work in an administrative or operational position within the retail industry. I have excellent oral and written communication skills, the ability to work well within a team or proactively alone, superb organisation & time management skills and have multi tasking down to an art! I pride myself on my hard working nature, professionalism, reliability, dependability, loyalty and my ability to work harmoniously in multi cultural environments. I have recently relocated to North County San Diego and am available for immediate full time employment. A dedicated and a fun loving person, I am excited to join your team!
