Summary

A motivated university student pursuing a degree in science with an extended major in psychology while working in hospitality. I possess hands-on professional experience in coffee-making and sales, with a proven history of serving customers in a fast-paced environment.


I have cultivated a resilient mindset through numerous relocations within Australia and abroad during my early adolescent years. This has equipped me with the ability to thrive under pressure, delivering results with composure and finesse. My diverse experiences have refined my communication skills, enabling me to effectively engage with individuals from various cultural backgrounds and navigate diverse accents.


My adeptness at multitasking and maintaining focus was forged through the responsibility of caring for my energetic little sister, all while excelling academically and managing household chores. This experience has instilled in me a capacity for efficiency and productivity in challenging situations.


In both my personal and academic life, I am known for my high level of organization and neatness. These qualities contribute to my ability to approach tasks systematically and deliver outcomes with precision.

Engaging in multiple team sports has further developed my collaborative skills, fostering an innate ability to work seamlessly within a team environment. My commitment to achieving optimal results for the team reflects my dedication and passion for collaborative success.
