    • Ortega Fish Shack and Bar

      Front of House

      Ortega is a fine dining experience without all the stiff-collaring. It has amazing food and an amazing team behind it. I was lucky to have experienced being front of house at Ortega for years, first being a part timer and then a full time waitress after university.Ortega taught me a lot. How to deal with stress in a fast paced environment while also having fun, how to work seamlessly in a team under pressure and how to become an efficient communicator, both when I didn't have a lot of time to spend with a customer and also when I had the time to linger and have a chat. Being in the hospitality sector also taught me the importance of good people and good management. A team is only as good as the people behind it, and Ortega has some of the best. Show less

    • Enspiral Dev Academy

      Nov 2020 - Mar 2021
      Student

      Dev Academy is an intensive 60+ hours a week coding bootcamp for full stack web development. I gained a variety of skills in a short amount of time; not only how to code but how to learn, how to work in a team in a software development environment, and how to become a better communicator. I found a deep passion and enthusiasm for tech and for working alongside people to find solutions, learning new technologies, getting stuck into code and having fun while doing it!
