During this time, the company had expanded and now become Universal Group. I came back to work for the Universal Group, where I assist them as an all-rounder.In this role I was moved around their venues, helping co-ordinate venues, their staff, and their events, which included pop-up events. As an all-rounder, I would assist at any universal venue that needed my assistance. I am very hardworking and enjoy a challenge, and no matter where they would place me I would go with it and break into the role. Eventually, I was placed back at the Civic Hotel, where I used to manage before taking my break to focus on studies. I used the knowledge gained in school using CAD and adobe suite to move into the role of marketing for the Civic Underground.I have been privileged to gain a lot of experience in the running and coordinating for the Universal Group and the other Universal venues. Working in this role has taught me business skills, and has made me confident that I have the business sense to start my own brand.

I began working at the Civic Hotel as a Customer Service Attendant in 2015, where I stayed in the position for 6 months while also completing my studies. In just under six months in my position, the owners were impressed by my work ethic and found my a valuable employee, and promoted me to the Manager of the Civic Underground. The Civic Underground is a boutique nightclub within the Civic Hotel that hosted many international and national musicians and DJ acts. As a manager, my duties included but weren’t limited to staff rostering, monitoring of staff performance, staff training, the setup of the venue for performers and international guests, stock intake, and cash handling, including the end of night balance and cash flow through the event. Additionally included in my duties was the booking of performers, and after my promotion to manager there was increased patronage from these events. The increased patronage meant that the owners undertook a refurbishment of the venue to cater for the larger number of customers.

I was hired at Cruise Bar as a customer service attendant for a period during the VIVID festival.

Having such a diverse business, I had to deal with a variety of complaints and was able to maintain a safe and happy work environment at all times due to quick thinking and problem solving skills to resolve customer issues. This was a great way for me to gain customer service and conflict resolution skills in a fast-paced learning environment.
