Jeorgia Dodman

I am an experienced and customer-focused barista with over two years' experience working in a high-volume Starbucks store, where I developed a strong foundation in espresso preparation, speed of service, and consistently delivering high standards under pressure. During this time, I became confident in making a wide range of espresso-based drinks and teas, maintaining cleanliness and food safety standards, and creating positive, welcoming interactions with customers throughout busy service periods. I am comfortable working independently and, in a team, I enjoy problem-solving, adapting quickly to changing situations, and taking responsibility for delivering a smooth service.

I take pride in providing friendly, reliable service and building rapport with regular customers, while ensuring every drink meets high quality standards.
