Summary
Hi I'm Rose, a hardworking and adaptable team player with hands-on experience in customer service, hospitality, admin, and coaching. From assisting in a busy restaurant kitchen to helping young gymnasts and even running a successful pop-up café with my class, I've learned how to stay organised, keep things moving, and bring positivity to any team.
I enjoy working with people, learning new skills, and finding creative ways to make tasks more efficient (and more enjoyable!). I bring energy, reliability, and a can-do attitude to every role I take on.

Accomplishments
I've built up a mix of skills and achievements across different areas — from earning HACCP, Fire Safety, Manual Handling, and First Aid certificates to being recognised with school awards for leadership, innovation, and commitment. I was proud to be chosen as a Peace Ambassador at the Saint Brigid 100 event in the Curagh Racecourse, where I represented my school and community. I also played a key role in running a class Pop-Up Café , where I managed food and décor, helping raise over €500 in just five hours. These experiences have shown my ability to take initiative, work creatively, and contribute to both team and community success.

Additional experience
"Pop up Café": In my careers guidance class, we had to set up an enterprise as a class and we decided to do a pop up café. We served all coffees, Cakes/pastries and toasties. I was personally in charge of the food and décor. My class and I made over £500 in the 5 hours we were open for. It was a great experience as I got to see the difference in working in a café compared to a restaurant.
