About me
Hello! I am currently looking for a full time or part time position as a Front Of House Coordinator, Administrator, Receptionist or Office Manager within a creative environment such as a theatre. Please get in touch! I am an experienced Customer Service Supervisor/Manager with a demonstrated history of working within the Performing Arts, Hospitality and Catering industries. Skilled in ticket sales within a box office, supervising a front of house team, taking phone calls from prospective customers, up selling, housekeeping, bar supervising, merchandising, sales, teamwork, and event management. I am also a a strong arts and design professional with a BA Honours degree in Illustration. So I am looking to find my career within in a creative environment. As someone who thrives within a small or large team and working independently, whilst adding my friendly and helpful demeanour, I could be a great candidate for you. As a respectful individual, I too understand the need for organisational skills and confidentiality when people are the centre of everything we do. I hope to offer you someone who never complains and is always enthusiastic about her job. We spend more time at our places of employment, so working well within a team and being dependable are traits I can offer you. Working within hospitality is seriously hard work, both mentally and physically. However, it has provided me with the ability to multi task, think intuitively, and proactively learn new skills. Working in Customers Service has also taught me the importance of team work and communication, as well as empathy and putting myself in the position of others. Having the chance to work within the theatre environment has been a valuable asset to my achievements over the years and I am hoping to transfer my skills to all creative environments.
