About me
I am a highly motivated, positive, capable and supportive individual with a strong work ethic combined with creative ability. My current role as a BAA at Surfdome has encouraged me in my ambition to progress as a Fashion Buyer. I am looking for a new challenge in a bigger organisation in order to broaden my buying skills.
