Summary

I am motivated and adaptable professional with a solid background in the hospitality industry, known for delivering excellent customer service, managing fast paced environments, and working effectively in team settings. With years of experience in handling diverse responsibilities, I've developed strong communication, problem solving, and organisational skills. I am now seeking a full-time opportunity outside of hospitality where I can apply my strengths while learning new skills, exploring different career paths, and continuing to grow both personally and professionally. I'm open-minded, quick to learn, and excited for the challenge of stepping into a new industry.
