I’m a friendly, hardworking high school student with a passion for giving people a great experience through warm service and good food. I love working with others and always bring a positive attitude and a willingness to help wherever I’m needed. I have hands-on experience in waitressing, barista work, and food preparation, and I take pride in making guests feel welcome and looked after. I’m eager to keep learning and growing in hospitality and to be part of a team where I can make every day enjoyable for customers and colleagues alike.
Note: I'm currently looking for WORK EXPERIENCE JOBS! Working at minimum wage or even for free before I'm hired or even in between work is nothing I won't be open to.
