What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can grow professionally, contribute to a collaborative team, apply teaching or hospitality operations skills, and take on increasing responsibility.

I am an ambitious and hardworking hospitality and ESL professional with experience teaching English online and in Thailand, and with operations roles in restaurants and admin positions. I focus on building strong team relationships and delivering high-quality service.

As an ESL teacher I align with curriculum, facilitate class discussions, monitor student progress, and maintain accurate student records, teaching both in-class and online. I hold a 120-hour TESOL and WSET Level 2, and I am experienced in classroom management and student evaluation.

In hospitality I have performed roles from bartender to head waitress and assistant restaurant manager, contributing to pre-opening activities, staff training, and large event support (including FIFA-related events). I was promoted to head bartender within eight months and have experience running bars during high-profile events.

In administrative roles I tracked sales and deliveries, managed inventory, coordinated alternative suppliers, and supported small counter sales. I am eager to continue learning, grow professionally, and contribute to a company that offers development opportunities.
