What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a stimulating, challenging, and highly rewarding role where I can use my skills and knowledge to support organisational growth, develop professionally, and contribute as an integrated member of the team.

At Gabriella’s Tea Room, I managed restaurant operations across front and back of house, from opening and closing to stock ordering, cashing up, salaries, schedules, and monthly accounts.

I arranged High Teas, birthday parties, lunches, brunches, and conference meetings while handling reservations, customer enquiries, complaints, and guest satisfaction.

Previously at Travellogistix CC, I planned projects and created designs for built-in cupboards, kitchens, and walk-in closets. I worked with customers, architects, engineers, and staff to finalise designs, manage quality control, stock, site visits, and furniture staging.

My earlier finance and personnel administration work included creditor and debtor reconciliations, bank statements, VAT verification, invoice capture, payroll-related administration, contracts, and staff commissions.
