Summary
With a decade of experience in the hospitality industry, I possess extensive proficiency in all facets of front-of-house operations. I have held roles as a Bar Manager, where I designed cocktail, wine, and beer menus, and am also a qualified Barista. Additionally, I have been actively involved in the music industry for the past four years, performing with multiple bands and coordinating music events across two venues.
My background includes roles as a Front of House Hostess and waitress, with solid expertise in wine and beverage service, venue closure procedures, and financial reconciliation. I am known for maintaining a positive attitude in team settings and have demonstrated strong leadership abilities.
Beyond hospitality, I have experience as a business-to-business interviewer for market research, a focus group hostess, and a receptionist. My creative, outgoing nature, combined with excellent communication skills, allows me to adapt easily to new tasks and challenges. I am eager to contribute as a valuable member of your team.
