Jessie Mills
Adelaide
Summary
With a combination of skills and training from the arts and creative industries, and care and support industries, I'm a personable and compassionate individual with a strong commitment to providing hospitality and comfort, and opportunities for fun and discovery. I'm down-to-earth with a strong professional code of conduct.
Bonus fact: I'm currently learning Japanese. I hope to one day be fluent, but for now, if you need me to order you a beer and your favourite food in an isakaya, I'm your gal.
