What I'm looking for

I am looking for a friendly workspace that fosters teamwork and growth.

I am a 19-year-old second-year university student at Toronto Metropolitan University, pursuing a Bachelor of Psychology with a minor in Criminology. My journey began in Hanoi, Vietnam, where I developed a strong foundation in customer service and teamwork through various roles, including waitressing at a Japanese restaurant. This experience taught me the importance of effective communication and adaptability in fast-paced environments.

During my internship at the Hanoi French Hospital, I had the opportunity to work alongside medical professionals, which further enhanced my skills in teamwork and cultural sensitivity. I am passionate about learning and growing within a friendly and positive workspace, where I can contribute my unique insights while collaborating with others. I believe in the power of teamwork and am excited to bring my energy and enthusiasm to a new role.
