Summary

Passionate about clean beauty, sustainable living, and — above all — ensuring customer satisfaction, I have spent the past four years proudly contributing to the growth of The Kind Matter Company in the Kerr Village community. As store manager, I have led my own team, gaining valuable experience in employee relations and leadership. With full autonomy over daily operations, I have developed a strong self-starter mindset and consistently ensured our space remained warm, welcoming, and inspiring for our customers. While I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished and remain deeply connected to the shop, I am searching to challenge myself further and explore new opportunities within the broader industry.
