  • Intern at Richmond Events
    Mar 2025 - Present · 1 yr 4 mos

  • Bar Staff at Hippo Inns Ltd
    Jul 2021 - Sep 2021 · 3 mos

    In this role, I was responsible for serving food and drinks to customers while maintaining a clean and well-organised bar. As a fully customer-facing position, it required me to be presentable at all times and able to handle customer requests efficiently while managing behind-the-scenes tasks. These included ensuring sufficient stock and glassware on the bar floor, keeping the glasswasher in constant rotation, and maintaining seamless service. Additionally, food safety was a key priority, both in the kitchen and in accommodating various dietary requirements

  • Operations Assistant at John Lewis Partnership
    Nov 2019 - Jan 2020 · 3 mos

    This role combined both behind-the-scenes responsibilities and customer-facing tasks. I was partially based on the shop floor, assisting with product organisation and restocking. Due to the nature of the role, I had to be highly skilled in multitasking, as customers often required assistance while I carried out my other duties. These included retrieving large quantities of products from the basement and ensuring they were placed correctly and efficiently within a structured timeframe.
