  Starting as a sales associate, I was promoted to Supervisor in late-2013. The new role allowed me to open and close the store, cash up the tills and manage one floor independently from my Manager. The responsibility of team leader gave me the responsibility to both direct and utilise my team as best as possible. These responsibilities helped me grow as a professional individual and allowed me to gain invaluable experience in a managerial position.
