Experience

Events/Wedding Coordinator - Glenhurst Restaurant Limited

(2024-04)

As a Wedding and Events Coordinator, I independently managed events from setup through to completion, taking ownership of day-to-day operations and ensuring everything ran smoothly. I acted as a key point of contact for clients, maintaining clear communication, understanding their needs and ensuring their expectations were met. I coordinated with suppliers and venue staff, oversaw event logistics and schedules, and handled last-minute changes and unexpected challenges with confidence.

This role strengthened my ability to work autonomously, prioritise competing tasks and adapt quickly in fast-paced environments, while maintaining high standards and delivering a welcoming, professional experience for clients and guests.

Head Waitress - Morito - Hackney Road

(2022-06 - 2024-04)

As a headwaitress in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, I successfully managed multiple priorities while coordinating closely with team members to deliver consistent, high-quality service. I led team briefings, clearly communicating detailed information, including allergen and safety guidance, ensuring accuracy and compliance at all times. This role strengthened my ability to remain calm under pressure, support colleagues, and provide attentive, personalised service to customers.

I am confident in handling responsibility, resolving issues professionally, and contributing positively to a team focused on delivering a safe and exceptional passenger experience.

MSc Research Project - Investigating glioblastoma invasion into healthy neural tissue using microfluidic in vitro cell models

(2025-05 - 2025-09)

During my Master’s research project, I worked in a highly regulated laboratory environment that required strict adherence to safety, hygiene, and procedural protocols. This strengthened my attention to detail, sense of responsibility, and ability to maintain high standards at all times. Managing complex tasks independently developed my organisation, time management, and resilience, while regular collaboration with supervisors and peers enhanced my communication skills and ability to respond positively to feedback.

Working in a demanding setting also strengthened my problem-solving abilities and capacity to remain calm, focused, and professional under pressure.

Server - The Orange Tree Bar and Grill

(2022-09 - 2023-06)

As a Server at The Orange Tree Bar and Grill, I delivered attentive, high-quality service in a busy hospitality environment, ensuring every guest felt welcomed and valued. I managed multiple tables simultaneously while maintaining accuracy, efficiency, and a friendly, professional manner. I handled special requests and dietary requirements with care, resolved concerns calmly and effectively, and collaborated closely with kitchen and bar teams to ensure smooth service.

This role strengthened my ability to remain composed under pressure, anticipate customer needs, and contribute positively to a team focused on delivering an exceptional guest experience.
