Summary

I have worked on the front line of the hospitality industry from the age of 16, acquiring an exceptional level of customer service skills and a thorough understanding of customer needs and expectations. I have worked as a barista in a top high street chain, provided front of house service in a luxury hotel, on a Disney Cruise Line ship and high level restaurants. I have also worked as a bartender in several establishments.

I have a degree in creative media production and have a strong foundation in visual storytelling and creative content creation. I'm knowledgeable about camera operation, video editing software, and visual composition. Strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills cultivated through diverse projects. Ready to use and develop technical, creative, and collaborative skills in any role.

I am now looking to find somewhere I can begin building new career foundations.
