Edwina Henry

Hello! My name is Edwina, I am from the United States (specifically New York) and am very happy to break into the workforce of Melbourne. I currently work at a restaurant in Brunswick but will be leaving soon and would love to expand into new fields where I know I would thrive.

I have lived in Paris for the last four years and have developed an appetite for top level service in an array of different fields (hospitality, retail, amateur fashion) and would love to display that here in Melbourne. I am a fast learner and enjoy being proud of my work at the end of the day.
