Melissa Forsythe

An experienced individual with front of house experience looking for a role to fit in around my studies. Having moved frequently, internationally, with my family, I've learned to adapt quickly, connect with new people, and communicate clearly across cultures. I'm patient, empathetic, and able to remain calm in tense situations qualities that I believe make me a supportive and effective team member.
