What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can teach music or apply hospitality experience in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment that values leadership and hands-on learning.

I am a motivated, detail-oriented music educator in training with practical experience as a saxophonist and a background in hospitality roles including cashier, head cashier, waitress, and runner. I combine strong leadership, communication, and customer-service skills with adaptability and a proven ability to perform under pressure.

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Music Education and studying hotel management to broaden my teaching and management capabilities, and I bring hands-on experience in team environments, sales, and front-of-house operations while prioritizing continuous growth and high-quality results.
