INDOOROOPILLY,QLD

Summary

Hi! My name is Marina, and I’m 28 years old, brazilian. I recently moved from Ireland to Australia, where I’m eager to expand my career, primarily in the culinary field. After completing my culinary graduation, I began my journey in the kitchen, developing a deep appreciation for the craft, creativity, and precision required in cooking. The kitchen taught me the importance of organization, adaptability, and resilience, qualities I carry into all areas of my life.

Later, I took on a role as a Showroom Host at Volkswagen, which introduced me to customer service and sparked a new interest in reception. I found myself drawn to the role's emphasis on a warm welcome and efficient service, which felt surprisingly rewarding. Now, as I explore opportunities, I am open to both culinary and customer service paths, bringing a strong work ethic and a customer-focused mindset to everything I do."
