About
Economics Finance student with hands-on experience in busy retail and hospitality settings. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around people and creating a nice atmosphere, even in really busy moments. I don’t mind the rush, if anything, I like it. There’s something about a fast-paced shift that keeps me motivated, and I like knowing I can stay calm, organised, and still make customers feel comfortable and looked after.
I’ve worked in different roles where I’ve had to juggle a lot at once, whether that’s serving customers, handling payments, or helping things run smoothly behind the scenes. I’ve learned to be quick on my feet and step in wherever I’m needed, but I also try to bring a bit of warmth into everything I do.
