Customer-focused barista and creative producer who delivers welcoming hospitality with sharp communication and visual design skills.
What I'm looking for
I’m a creative, adaptable hospitality professional with experience supporting guests in fast-paced, high-volume environments. I’m known for professionalism, strong communication, and creating positive experiences even when things move quickly.
In my recent roles, I delivered warm, personalized customer service while maintaining a calm, professional demeanor. I supported daily operations across café, inn, and restaurant settings, balancing multiple responsibilities with accuracy and attention to detail.
I also bring hands-on creative strengths from my background in visual communication and production. I’ve worked in photography and event environments, using strong interpersonal communication to help clients feel comfortable, supported, and engaged.
Across my experience, I’ve managed POS transactions and cash handling, handled inventory and stocking, and collaborated with teams to keep operations seamless. I’m quick to learn new systems, connect with people from diverse backgrounds, and contribute reliable energy and initiative to every team I join.
