Summary

Friendly worker with great people skills and over 4 years experience in the workforce. Dedicated to creating a warm environment for each customer. In my previous work one of my favourite aspects was the strong bonds made between our workers and the regular customers that would regularly come back due to strong and friendly service. Part of this is being knowledgeable about every step of coffee production, from planting to roasting to brewing and enthusiastic about promoting sustainable and fair-trade coffee. Motivated service worker with exceptional social skills, communication abilities and customer service background. Dedicated to following health and safety guidelines and handling food items properly. Pursues every opportunity to support team members and proactively address issues.
