What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to transition into community services, where I can use my customer-facing, leadership and daily operations experience to make a positive impact. I'm willing to obtain required licences, clearances and industry-specific qualifications.

I've delivered daily hospitality operations at JB Café for more than seven years, managing open-to-close service across barista work, cooking, customer service and high-volume operations.

I've also taken sole kitchen responsibility at Cobbitty Bakehouse and supervised teams, reconciled cash and managed daily operations as Duty Manager at San Churros. My experience spans cooking, food preparation, checkout, deli work, venue opening and closing, and maintaining consistent service standards.

I'm now looking to bring my customer-facing, leadership and independent working experience into community services and make a positive impact in the community.
