Cover and Motivational Letter
I am a creative, dynamic and well-motivated young and upcoming professional looking to make a dent in any industry I work in. I am well spoken, diligent as well as a team player. Challenges motivate me to learn and encourage me to make the most of every situation possible. I am ambitious, humble, hardworking and always looking for an opportunity to grow myself as an individual. I want to be able to give back to my own community as well, by contributing to the development of young individuals and educating the African market about good quality coffee I believe in myself and have faith in my ability to utilise my innate talents as well as skills I have developed through life, school and work environments to efficiently achieve my own objectives and objectives set for me. I’ve developed passions across various industries, like the coffee and dairy industry, taking on responsibilities of different levels within the workplace.
My experience and contribution towards the coffee industry over the past five years has led me to this humble moment.
I have sold coffee to people from all walks of life. A coffee brand, where I trained not only as a barista, but also spent some time burning beans(roasting) on an old school manual Topper.
I have learnt that passion and education cover a big part, in making sure a high-quality product is produced. I have the skills and the passion to ensure such standards. Read about me
