About
I am no stranger to working in high-volume and high-pressure situations while maintaining kind and helpful customer service. I was promoted to VIP bar staff at Parklife Festival, where I demonstrated reliability, speed, and strong people skills, and was later offered further work on the VIP Bar Warehouse Project. I'm comfortable working long hours, staying positive under pressure, and creating a welcoming experience for customers.
I really do hope I get to share festival life with you this season!
