Rourke Dakota Bygate

Queenstown

Summary

I am a highly motivated and adaptable individual seeking to expand professional experience in the hospitality and customer service industry, particularly in bar work. With strong local knowledge, a passion for sports nutrition, and extensive experience in web and graphic design during the daytime, I am eager to join a bar environment at night. Being a NZ Resident and having spent 15 years living in Queenstown, I am a familiar face around town and fit well within the bar atmosphere. I have the personality to thrive in the rock 'n' roll, party music scene, and underground bar vibe. Night-time bar work is ideal for my current daily lifestyle, as I am free all nights of the week and have the flexibility to commit to evening shifts. Currently self-employed, I am looking for flexible, evening-based opportunities that allow me to contribute to a team while complementing my existing work.
