I previously lived in Hoi An, Vietnam, for a year before taking a break from English teaching to explore Japan, where I worked as a ski instructor during the winter season. During my time there, I began studying Japanese and am proud of the progress I've made—I’m now able to communicate at a conversational level. My passion for languages, including Swedish, allows me to connect with a wider range of people and better serve international guests, not just English speakers. Vietnam holds a special place in my heart. I genuinely enjoy the culture, cuisine, and natural beauty, and I've built a meaningful life here with my best friend and our rescued animals. Because of this, securing a position in the Hoi An or Danang area is very important to me. I’m passionate about hospitality work—it’s something I truly enjoy, excel at, and am committed to continually improving in. Being able to live and work in a place I love while pursuing a career that brings me joy is something I deeply value. I am a thoughtful, articulate, enthusiastic individual, and a tenacious problem-solver. My personable nature helps build a positive customer experience and enjoyable work environment. I have an open-minded and ambitious approach to learning new skills and enriching my existing strengths. I thrive in organisations which embrace professionalism and delivering excellence in all that they do. Motivated to complete tasks smoothly and efficiently, I am always ready to adapt priorities with confidence and learn to improve with initiative, in high-quality, high-pressure conditions. My experience in managerial roles has built my ability to lead and make decisions, with emphasis on what is best for the business, as well as maintaining customer satisfaction. I’ve learnt to portray a firm authoritative persona, navigate challenging situations, as well as motivate my peers and encourage positivity; I am confident and assertive, yet polite and kind. Specific skills and strengths include: Clear communication between the floor, bar, kitchen, and reception. Leadership and teamwork. Cash handling, using POS systems, and operating tills and PDQs. Cocktail knowledge. Barista skills. Changing beer casks. Arranging table settings. Health and Safety Protocols.

I thrive in environments that value open communication, collaboration, and continuous learning. I’m most productive when I can contribute ideas and also learn from those around me. In my previous role, I found that working in a team-oriented culture helped us hit our goals faster and created a more enjoyable work experience. That’s something I’m hoping to find in my next opportunity as well. I’ve learned that I do my best work in organizations that encourage autonomy but also provide clear direction. Environments that are overly rigid or siloed tend to limit creativity and growth, which are really important to me.
