Summary

Successful Barista and Front of House Team Member with over four years restaurant/cafe experience. I believe that I flex easily between different positions to meet demand. I am a reliable hard worker that brings attention to detail and great time management abilities to successfully multitask in fast-paced environments.

I am looking for a change in employment and believe my great work ethic, noteworthy common sense and bubbly personality make me a valuable employee. I have always been interested in the mining industry as both my father, step dad and grandfather have been part of the mining sector for most of their lives. I am a proud indigenous woman and would like to bring that into any future employment also.
