Surf Dive ‘n’ Ski is home to the world’s best surf, skate, street and snow wear brands. After five months of acting in a Store Managerial capacity, I was officially promoted to Store Manager of SDS Top Ryde in July 2018. In this role, I am responsible for all stock management and visual merchandising as well as my previous Assistant Store Manager duties.

As 2IC, I was responsible for driving and motivating the team to maximise sales, visual merchandising whilst providing an exceptional experience for customers.

Gap Parramatta was the largest Gap store in Australia. It was an extremely fast paced environment and required exceptional and experienced leaders. This role advanced my retail management and leadership skills.

This role trained me in how to work effectively in a team in terms of looking at new approaches and initiatives to drive business and grow the customer base. I was able to gain experience in dealing with a diverse range of personalities and my position allowed me to wear many hats.
