Summary
Passionate and hardworking barista with a strong focus on customer service and teamwork. I have built my skills through hands-on experience at Komma Tea and Mission BBQ, Wild Ones Play Café, and currently Parousia coffee learning how to stay organized, adapt quickly, and keep a positive attitude in fast-paced environments. I enjoy making quality drinks, baking, helping customers feel welcome, and bringing energy to every shift. My goal is to grow in the coffee and service industry and eventually open my own café.
