Mel Lavery

I am a hardworking and sociable professional with a diverse background that showcases my adaptability and dedication. For seven years, I worked as a bartender at Pavilion Bar, where I developed exceptional customer service skills, mastered food handling, and thrived in a fast-paced environment. In this role, I not only served drinks but also ensured a welcoming atmosphere, efficiently managed tasks under pressure, and built strong rapport with customers and colleagues alike.

Currently, I am furthering my skills as a trainee solicitor at Brian Feeney and Company Solicitors, a position that has strengthened my ability to handle complex responsibilities, think critically, and communicate effectively. Balancing these roles has enhanced my versatility and work ethic, demonstrating my ability to adapt quickly to new challenges and environments.

Whether serving customers or managing detailed legal tasks, I bring a proactive approach, a focus on teamwork, and a commitment to excellence. My training in food service, combined with my experience in customer-facing roles, ensures I can transition seamlessly into new opportunities. I am passionate about contributing to a dynamic team and delivering outstanding service in any role.

If you're seeking someone with proven dedication and adaptability, I would love to bring my skills and enthusiasm to any team.
