Summary
I am a motivated and adaptable recent Year 12 graduate (2025) with experience in hospitality, food service and high-performance environments. I obtained an early entry offer to study Political Science and International Relations/Criminology and Criminal Justice at Griffith University, and have deferred my studies until 2027 to gain practical work experience and personal development. With over 16 years of experience as a nationally ranked competitive dancer, I bring strong discipline, reliability and the ability to perform under pressure, which has developed a strong work ethic. My experience as a dance teacher and choreographer has strengthened my leadership/skills, communication, time-management and teamwork, including my ability to motivate others and work collaboratively. My experience as a barista assistant and customer service has developed my interpersonal skills, professionalism and ability to deliver positive customer experiences while efficiently managing multiple tasks. I am energetic, professional and approachable, with a genuine passion for people and creating a positive customer experience. I take pride in maintaining high standards while supporting customers and colleagues and bring an open-minded approach to every role I undertake.
