Summary

I am a full time student at Guildhall (including private study/reading time), hence I have ample time to devote to working at Starbucks. Further, I live 4 minutes walk away from the store and can be called upon, not only for scheduled work, but also for emergency cover at very short notice.

I've been a regular enjoyer of coffee for many years, and would love an opportunity to not only learn the craft behind making it, but also an opportunity to interact with other members of the team and the general public.

Work history

Copyist

The Hanover Band
London
2023.07 - 2024.11

I was tasked with copying orchestral parts for a public performance by The Hanover Band. This required precise copying and annotation. I was also employed to assist at receptions serving drinks and snacks to members of the public, which involved preparation of the drinks and various food items.

During my time with the band, I was responsible for ensuring that the stage at rehearsals was prepared well in advance before the musicians arrived.

Accompanist

Sarah Barrett/Aya Halder
London
2018.09 - 2023.11

I was hired to accompany young children taking their ABRSM graded exams, which meant that I rehearsed with the children and, on the examination day, accompanied their performances.
