Hello, I'm Willie.
I’m a hard working and driven individual and pride myself upon my abilities of effective communication. I am goal orientated with precise short and long term objectives. Also love the newly discovered bartending scene.
I am a person who is able to work well on my own and in collaboration with others to work effectively and efficiently within a team. I am quality conscious person who can approach tasks in a logical, focused and rational manner. I also pride myself in giving 100% effort in every task I’m given. The hospitality industry is a highly competitive industry and through my previous work experience I have learnt the importance of meeting the customers ever changing needs. I am able to work well with diversity in the workplace and am able to understand the view points of others when needed.
