Carla Shipley

I am a hard worker and a fast learner, with a pro-active mindset. My communication and sales skills are exemplary, complemented by my professional and personable manner. I am always willing to go that extra mile for clients and exceed expectations. I am extremely organised and great under pressure, great at balancing multiple tasks, and planning is one of my biggest strengths.
