I'm currently a Café Attendant at Brand Folio Plus LLC (Train Gym), supporting coffee service, cashiering, purchasing, inventory control, and bar-back operations.

I've built eight consecutive years of food and beverage experience across café, restaurant, hotel, and events environments. I hold certifications in barista service, matcha training, customer service, and essential food safety.

At Innovative Union Company in KSA, I progressed from Barista to Store-in-Charge, leading teams, managing inventory, making coffee, and coaching staff across several branches.

I've also supported B2B and B2C lead generation at Golden Eagle Events Management and delivered food, wine-pairing, banquet, room-service, and large-group service with Sicillian Roast and Sri Panwa Luxury Hotel.
