I am seeking an Optical Assistant position in the Western Suburbs.
With a diverse professional background spanning administration, customer service, import management, and entrepreneurship, I bring a wealth of transferable skills and a strong dedication to providing exceptional service in a dynamic environment.

My professional journey reflects versatility and commitment. As the past owner of a health-focused business, I specialised in natural remedies and vitamin supplements, developing and marketing products while fostering meaningful customer relationships. Prior to that, my role as Import Manager at Briglenda International Distributors involved overseeing complex logistics, managing supplier relationships, and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations. These experiences have honed my organisational abilities, attention to detail, and adaptability—qualities essential in an Optical Assistant.

I am particularly drawn to opportunities in the optics field as it aligns with my passion for health and customer service. My completion of the Introduction to Optics Pre-Employment Program with Optical Dispensers Australia (ODA) underscores my readiness to transition into the optical industry.

My educational background, including a MBA , Certificate III in Micro Business Management, Certificate IV in Small Business Management and an Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy, equips me with a unique perspective on holistic customer care and business operations.

Some key attributes I bring to the role include:
Exceptional Customer Service: Proven ability to build rapport and address client needs effectively.
Technical Proficiency: Experience with word processing, accounting software, and internet site design, complemented by excellent time management skills.
Collaborative and Autonomous Work Ethic: A history of excelling both independently and as part of a team.

I am eager to contribute these skills to a new position in optics, ensuring every client receives the highest standard of care and assistance. Moreover, I am committed to growing within this role, aspiring to long-term employment where I can continue to learn and add value.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experiences align with your needs. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team and making a meaningful impact.
