Summary

I’ve worked in hospitality for seven years, in restaurants, cafes, and event venues like weddings and conferences. I’m confident working in busy environments, whether it’s on the coffee machine, helping in the kitchen, or making sure customers are looked after. I’m friendly, hardworking, and a good team player, and I am always happy to jump in where needed. I try to bring a bit of humor and positivity to every shift.

I’ve spent time traveling overseas, which helped me grow in confidence, become more independent, and connect with people from all walks of life. That experience has made me even more comfortable in fast-paced, people-focused roles, and strengthened my creative, outgoing nature, and genuine love for working with people.
