Wanaka

Summary

With over ten years customer service experience, my goal is to deliver the most quick and efficient service possible, while ensuring the customer has a positive experience. I have bountiful experience in customer facing, front of house roles, with three years in management under my belt, as well as many years barista and waitressing experience. I am also proficient in housekeeping and kitchen prep.


I made the move to Wānaka in early 2023, after four years living in Queenstown. I am extremely passionate about hiking and the environment, and am hoping to get involved in many community initiatives in the area. I have recently applied for Residency through my partner, and I aim to be here long term.
