I deliver reliable customer service and lead teams in fast-paced environments.
What I'm looking for
I've supported high-volume guest service at Dooley's Hotel, processing 100+ food and beverage orders per shift, managing table reservations, and training more than eight new staff members.
At Costa Coffee, I progressed from Barista to Supervisor within five months. I reconciled tills of up to €2,000 per shift, managed stock and ordering, and developed training for new team members.
I've also handled hotel check-ins, payments, reservations records, loyalty-card enquiries, and daily cash transactions. Alongside my Business (Honours) degree, I bring strong Microsoft Office, communication, problem-solving, and multilingual customer service skills.
