Alana Lancaster

I am originally from New Zealand, but am coming up on two years living and working in the UK. I've mainly been working in the hospotality sector since arriving here, however I now think it's time to start focusing on a career. I am passionate about all things animals, and I am considering studying further in a veterinary technician position at some point in the future.

Over the last two years I have worked for The Langdale Estate, as a restaurant supervisor, and as bartender. Within this role, I was sole charge of the restaurant on many busy evenings, making sure that operations ran as smooth as possible. I am used to fast paced environments, and work very well under stress with the ability to juggle several tasks at once.

I have experience in customer service across many different modes of working. From behind the scenes of a bank, to general retail and sales, to waitressing, and to volunteering in my youth at a farm park.
