I always believe life is about experiences so I always enjoy learning new things and skills to better myself. I push myself to work hard but also help others if they're in need of help.

Bartender - Giggling Squid - Chelmsford

(2024-06)

Working as the bartender at giggling squid Chelmsford involves making 25-30 cocktails, pouring pints, wines, soft drinks and making teas/ coffees. As well as learning new seasonal drinks/ cocktails. This job has given me great experience in bartending, drinks running, managing the bar by myself, keeping the bar clean, making sure drink fridges all stocked up and washing/ polishing glasses while doing so in a fast paced environment.

Drink server/bartender - Aroma - Basildon

(2020-08 - 2024-01)

I was working at a fast paced buffet, mainly as a drink server, I got used to having to take many drinks at a time in a quite large restaurant. So I had to do a lot of walking. I also worked as the bartender sometimes so I learned about beers, wines, teas, coffees and learned about different spirit mixers to make.

Plumbing apprentice

(2016 - 2017)

As a plumbing apprentice the jobs I did involved fitting radiators, checking the condition and replacing boilers and changing pipe work in various houses and buildings. I learned and experienced a lot in this job from measuring, heavy lifting, speaking to the clients and travelling long distances around the country. But in the end plumbing wasn't for me.
