Practical experience, work ethic and real-world responsibility.

DEC 2025 – APR 2026

Waiter - Brass Bell Restaurant, Kalk Bay, Cape Town, South Africa

Worked as a waiter in a busy waterfront restaurant shortly after completing high school, serving both local customers and a high number of international tourists. This role helped develop strong customer service, communication and teamwork skills in a fast-paced hospitality environment.

Built confidence working with people from different countries and backgrounds, supporting the team during busy service periods and staying calm under pressure. The experience also strengthened my discipline, time management and ability to remain professional while dealing with different customer needs and situations.
