  Surfside

  Waitress

  Whilst living in Polzeath for the summer I worked as a full-time waitress alongside a smallteam. Being a popular destination for tourists this restaurant was fully booked each day, requiring efficient and fast-paced work whilst also providing a high-quality dining experience. As one of the most experienced waitresses that season, my work roles and responsibilities were high and included opening/closing the restaurant, cashing up, stock take, managing bookings and training new employees. With no separate bar team, my waitressing role also consisted of taking and making drinks orders therefore I also gained bar and coffee making experience. Show less

  Borneo Nature Foundation

  Jan 2019 - Sept 2019

  Graduate Student Researcher

  For my MbyRes degree, I collaborated with Borneo Nature Foundation (BNF) and Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya (UMP) to conduct my project which investigated the diversity and morphology of non-volant small mammal species. To complete this project I spent 9 months living in Borneo and conducted 5 months of fieldwork in the Rungan Landscape rainforest in Central Kalimantan. For three consecutive weeks of each field month, I conducted daily capture-mark-recapture surveys of small mammals so I am highly trained in catching, handling, measuring, identifying and marking such animals. As a preliminary study, it was also my responsibility to create the protocol and methodology, organize and obtain the required equipment, select survey locations and train local field guides and students from UMP who helped with data collection throughout this project – the majority of whom did not know how to speak English. Terms of the collaboration also included attending scientific conferences organised by BNF and delivering several presentations to UMP lecturers and students which emphasized the aims of my project and some of the results pre-analysis. This experience greatly advanced my fieldwork ability as well as my leadership and communication skills. Furthermore, being immersed in a completely foreign culture, broadened my mind and revealed completely new viewpoints and perspectives. After this experience, I am confident in my ability to design, conduct and report scientific fieldwork, as well as interact and empathize with people from different cultures and ages. Show less

  Waitress

  Over the Christmas period, I was hired as a full-time waitress and bartender at my local pub restaurant. Being a gastropub, part of the Lovely Pubs chain, this establishment had high dining and hospitality standards with great attention to detail. It was my role to reflect these high standards in my waitressing and bartending approach all the while working calmly and efficiently during this very busy time of year. Being a large venue, private functions and parties were also common in which we were expected to host and to provide intuitive service to ensure the happiness of all guests. Show less
