Abbie Coltart
Perth and Kinross
Summary
I would consider myself friendly, reliable and approachable with plenty of experience working within the hospitality industry, to deliver a positive experience for all members and guests. In my previous roles, working on many competitions yards, i have demonstrated hard work commitment and throughout my most recent job as a coach i have learnt strong communication skills, particularly on dealing with guests under sometimes difficult situations. I feel this practical experience would be beneficial to working in a different environment as a host.
