  • Passionate about the eyewear and retail sectors.
  • A clear and effective communicator, able to simplify technical jargon for customer understanding.
  • Dedicated to exceeding expectations to ensure customer and team satisfaction.
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and adept at prioritizing tasks in a dynamic work environment.
  • Someone who takes their responsibilities seriously but maintains a sense of humor.
