Summary

I'm a motivated student with some experience in customer service, mainly in hospitality. I focus on making sure guests have a great experience and helping things run smoothly. I've gained some solid skills at managing orders and keeping a calm, supportive vibe for my team. I'm also strong in communication and keeping the dining area in an orderly state to ensure everything goes well. I am a fast learner, willing to adapt and take on new challenges. I'm looking for a role where I can use my skills and continue learning and growing professionally.
