My name is Giuk Eom (Duke). I have spent 12 years working at a restaurant in Australia, where I have learned a lot and obtained both a visa and citizenship. Personally, I have a deep passion for coffee and a strong desire to learn more about it, which is why I am applying. Although I have no formal experience as a barista, I am eager to gain experience in a café setting. Given my 12 years of experience in the restaurant industry, I am confident that I can contribute effectively as a kitchen hand or all-rounder while learning the ins and outs of café work.
