Summary

I'm currently in completing my final year of high school at Epsom Girls Grammar. I've previously had 3 jobs which have required me to gain skills by not only waitressing but also making food from scratch, preparing ingredients and taking care of customers. I've been described as a caring and empathetic friend by my previous co-workers which whom I maintain long-term friendships with. I'm very open to adapting to new environments and love learning new skills.
