- During this job, I would switch from working as the waitstaff, bar staff, and as a barista, all of which I was trained in.
- This also included clean-ups after events, completing tasks such as clearing tables, stacking chairs, and removing unused food.
- Ensured guests were happy with the service and food by proactively speaking with customers throughout my shifts.
- This allowed me to develop great customer service by promptly addressing enquiries and concerns.

- Here I volunteered for an eco charity that organised different green events.
- The specific event I was involved with was helping set up and work at the 'Clever Green Festival' 2019.
- I started this volunteer job at 16 originally for my Dofe with helping to set up the festival and come up with ideas for what to have there, teaching me how to be ceative and come up ideas for how to be creative and an understanding of what goes in to creating and setting up events. However I continued on and worked at the festival with a eco face painting business.
