Thuy Linda

I'm dedicated, passionate, friendly and hardworking worker originally from Vietnam. I have been living in United Kingdom for over 7 years and I'm a British Citizen. My UK work experience has been working in The Keys Yarm for over 3 years starting in 2022 primarily as a front of house waitress, I also got to experience many other restaurant roles.

Since late 2025 I have been working as a Nail Technician at Emerald Nails and Spa in Yarm, which I loved, but I feel my skills are more suited to waitressing, customer service and kitchen support. Previously in my home country I spent 15 years working in restaurants in the tourist district of Ho Chi Minh City.

Having trained as a nail technician in Vietnam 10 years ago I took the opportunity to work in this industry. I worked as a trainee improving my skills. I really enjoyed the work; however, it was increasingly difficult to manage my time. I decided my skill level would not be high enough to be successful in this career.

I loved my role as waitress enhancing customers experience in my first job in the UK. I got to work in many areas of the restaurant including Bar Tender and Assisting in the Kitchen. I really enjoyed working with the team. I only left due to an opportunity to pursue a career working as a Nail Technician. Before moving to the UK, I had 14 years of experience in many roles in restaurants working as a waitress, food preparation and a barista in coffee shops.
