Summary
I am extremely hardworking and when given a task I will complete it swiftly and to a high standard. Having worked in a fast paced commercial kitchen environment, I am accustomed to following strict procedures, practicing cleanliness and organisation, and engaging in respectful, upbeat customer service. I am passionate about putting everything into any job I undertake, and I'm able to work with others in a team to do so or take initiative and complete a job myself. I respect authority and I am able to take on board feedback provided by superiors and co-workers, while simultaneously holding myself accountable to maintain a good quality of work in any role I undertake or am given.
