Summary

I'm a full-time university student currently studying Business Management, with over four years of experience working in the hospitality industry. Through this, I've developed strong people skills, the ability to stay calm under pressure, and a solid understanding of how teams and businesses work day to day. I'm now looking to take the next step and build a career in operations management or HR, where I can keep learning, support others and contribute to a team-focused, value led company. I'm organised, hardworking and genuinely enjoy working with people to make things run smoothly.
