Leo Bartle
Crook,Durham
Summary
have three years of experience working in a busy café as a barista and server, where I developed excellent customer service, teamwork, and time management skills in a fast-paced environment. Alongside this, my role as an activity leader at a school summer camp strengthened my ability to communicate effectively, stay organised, and create positive experiences for others. Achieving the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award demonstrates my commitment, resilience, and ability to work under pressure, while my involvement in Kynren highlights my reliability and teamwork in large-scale productions. Additionally, my work experience at Darlington Economic Campus and strong academic record as a straight-A student reflect my professionalism, attention to detail, and strong work ethic, all of which I bring to delivering high-quality service in hospitality roles.
