MARGOUT BUCCERI

Burwood,NSW

Summary

I'm an Italian who moved to Australia in 2015 and started working in the hospitality industry. Being Italian, I have a strong appreciation for good food, wine, and hospitality, which has been a driving force behind my decision to pursue a career in this industry.

At 29 years old, I consider myself to be in the prime of my life, and I have a strong desire to learn, grow, and succeed in my career. Moving to a new country and starting a new job in hospitality was definitely a challenge, but it also required me to be adaptable, flexible, and open-minded, all of which are valuable skills in the hospitality industry.

My experience of living in two different cultures has given me a unique perspective on customer service and the importance of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all customers. I'm sensitive to cultural differences and strive to tailor my approach to meet the needs of a diverse range of customers.

Overall, I believe that my Italian heritage, age, and experience of working in hospitality in Australia all contribute to a valuable set of skills and experience that can help me excel in the industry. With passion, work ethic, and adaptability, I'm confident that I have the potential to achieve great things in hospitality career.
