Summary

Embarking on my professional journey amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I embraced a pivotal role in essential retail during the peak of level 5 lockdowns. Fueled by an unwavering work ethic and boundless ambition, I am now poised to embark on a new chapter, eager to broaden my skill set and acquire fresh insights and experiences.

As an innovative photographer, I possess a keen eye for detail and a talent for capturing the extraordinary in the ordinary. I leverage my acute observational skills and a creative vision to produce captivating imagery that resonates with viewers. Specializing in a diverse range of photography genres including Landscape, Portrait, Nature, and Equine photography, I bring a versatile perspective and a passion for storytelling to every project.


Polite and professional Call Centre Agent successful in applying strong communication and problem resolution skills to each customer issue. Solid history of surpassing productivity and quality targets in high-volume settings. Skillful in building long-lasting, loyal customer relationships.

Upon strong performance as a MyChart technical support agent I was one of two agents selected to work on our Scheduling line in addition to the MyChart line where I gained further experience dealing with CRM systems.
