Summary

Seeking a part-time hospitality role, I am an 19-year-old bilingual in Japanese and English, currently in my first year of studies at the Australian National University. With over 5 years of experience at Sakura Harbour Japanese Restaurant and 4 years at Vietnam Journey, I possess a strong foundation in hospitality. Having recently completed my HSC Year 12 in 2023, I offer a unique blend of academic knowledge and practical expertise in the field. Eager to further develop my skills as a barista, I bring linguistic proficiency, teamwork abilities, and a dedicated work ethic to any cafe setting.
