Summary

Having travelled and worked overseas as well as various workplaces, I have dealt with all kinds of people and can communicate well with or without a team to satisfy customer needs. If I don't understand something I will make it my mission to work it out as I am a fast learner and believe I can beneficial to many different workplaces and roles.

Proven in high-volume dining environments, I excel in food preparation and customer service, ensuring top-notch experiences at The Royal York and Faulkner Hotel. My ability to solve complex problems and collaborate effectively with teams has consistently improved kitchen efficiency and customer satisfaction, showcasing a blend of hard and soft skills critical to culinary success and being part of a team.

Being 19 years old there is still an endless amount to be learnt and experience therefore I am very open and keen to learn new skills,
