Summary
Enthusiastic, quick-learning barista with a passion for great coffee. I pick up instructions quickly and thrive in fast-paced environments. With hands-on experience in two busy local cafés, I can stay calm under pressure, work efficiently with others, and help create a positive, upbeat environment for both customers and staff.
With a background in the arts and a keen eye for detail, I’m drawn to the craft of coffee—especially perfecting drinks. I’m all about great service, genuine customer connections, and contributing to a welcoming, professional space. Ready to start working immediately and seeking a permanent full-time job opportunity.
