Summary
I am a hardworking and proactive barista with nearly a year of hands-on experience across three busy cafés, confidently rotating through all key roles including front-of-house service, till operation, pot wash, table running, and managing opening/closing routines. I’m well-practised in cleaning and maintaining espresso machines and delivering consistent, high-quality coffee, even during busy periods. Known for creating a light-hearted, welcoming atmosphere, I’ve often been praised for my ability to engage customers warmly while upholding professionalism. My time in hospitality has sharpened my adaptability, pace, and teamwork—qualities I’m ready to bring to any fast-paced, customer-focused environment. Alongside strong communication and multitasking skills, developed through volunteering and leadership roles, I am committed to reinforcing a positive brand experience and supporting the team wherever needed.
