Summary

I am an enthusiastic, honest and wholly reliable individual who is personable and loves meeting new people. I have always worked in customer service roles, some of which have been face to face and have prior experience of working in coffee shops.

Hardworking and conscientious, I have a zest for learning and new experiences, and am happy to follow instruction and learn from others.

I am naturally organized, tidy and meticulous and am both hygiene and cleanliness-conscious.

I enjoy being part of a team and have a respectful, compromising and flexible attitude towards colleagues and my employer.

I advocate for excellent customer service and understand its true value especially to customer-facing businesses and customer morale.
