About
Adaptable and sociable hospitality professional, experienced leading a team of 12 and communicating confidently with the public. Passionate about customer service, travel and exploration. Currently looking to explore the tourism industry in a people-facing role. First class graduate of English and Classical Studies, with both office and front of house experience.
Experience
I have four years of hospitality experience, completed alongside my university degree and in the seven months since I graduated. I have experience working at infamous events in large venues - such as the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, the Australian Open and the Six Nations at Twickenham Stadium - and so feel confident in a fast-paced customer service facing role. In 2024 and 2025 I performed a management and operational role at the Wimbledon Championships as a resturant supervisor (2024) and assistant manager (2025), thus feel confident working under pressure and devising solutions on the spot.
For six months I worked full time as a section waiter at an award winning London Gastropub, Brook House Fulham. I am currently working in a sports pub in Melbourne and hope to move into a tourism/tour guide role in the next few months.
