Background

I am a 20 year old female living in Cape Town, South Africa. I am a friendly, reliable, and hardworking individual who enjoys working with people and contributing to a positive atmosphere. I have over 19 months of waitressing experience and am currently working as a Hostess. My experience has taught me how to stay calm, organised, and upbeat during busy shifts, while communicating clearly with both guests and team members. I take pride in being dependable, adaptable, and someone who brings good energy to the team. I’m always eager to keep learning and growing in the hospitality industry. I also hold a valid South African driver’s license, which I’ve had since February 2024 and have completed a Food Safety and Health certificate online.
