Summary

This past year I have been working as a food and beverage attendant in the Events department of Hamilton Island. Hamilton Island Events is a premium department which has helped further my knowledge in hospitality, the service I provide to guests and the processes that must be followed to ensure events run smoothly. I have been so privileged to have been able to be a part of this department, however, after 18 months of living on the island I am excited venture into new things.
