Summary
Motivated, friendly and hardworking, with experience in both hospitality and working with children. I enjoy working in busy environments, supporting a team, and taking responsibility for tasks from start to finish. My background includes cooking in a professional kitchen, assisting teaching staff, and helping in a family business where accuracy and physical work are essential.
I’m confident, social, and reliable, and I enjoy learning new skills—especially anything hands-on. I bring energy, teamwork and a positive attitude to every role.
