My name is Emma O'Reilly. I have a large amount of experience dealing with the public from time spent working in retail and hospitality. I thrive as part of a work team but also have a strong ability to complete tasks alone. I am a people person and feel most confident when interacting with and helping the public. I pride myself on being a strong employee and will always offer my best self, assistance and knowledge to team members and customers.
