Starting as a Pot-Wash when I was eighteen, I trained up the line to where I was running the kitchen at twenty-one. I have developed key transferable skills such as staff management, effective communication and efficient administration, all while working in a high pressure environment where macro decisions and time-keeping are key.

I have undertaken many responsibilities such as:

• Monitored kitchen operations to spot and correct issues impacting team performance or quality.
• Oversaw kitchen operations for in-house dining and outside catering events, maintaining a reliable, quality food service.
• Communicated with servers and FOH staff to maintain efficient workflow and address special requests.
• Monitored line work processes to ensure consistency in quality, quantity and presentation.
• Directed kitchen workflow to meet high-volume needs in busy restaurant environment.

During my time here, as a server and cook, I took on responsabilities such as, and learned:

• Customer service skills, while managing transactions and preparing food.
• Daily cashup and float, while managing irregularities.

My time at Angel Studios was geared towards my ambition to work in the music industry, and invaluable as I:

• Set up studios for a variety of recording sessions.
• Maintained studio equipment and the premises itself.
• Aided musicians and artists as required.

Gaining fantatsic insight into the commercial side of the creative industries I learned to:
