Summary

I'm a motivated and positive student who enjoys working alongside others but can adapt to work in an independent environment. From my past experience as a barista and a primary school assistant, I'm dedicated to creating an inviting and personalised customer experience with strong communication strengths and maintaining a well-organised mentality. Flexibility to take on any role from cleaning to serving with an enthusiastic approach.
