Tell us about yourself and your jobs?
My name is Scarlett and I love learning new things. Since finishing school at Emerson School in Dandenong I have followed my dreams to work in hospitality. With the support of the NDIS, I have successfully gained employment at L’arte Central Cafe and the Amstel Club, both in Cranbourne. Both workplaces are highly supportive and taught me new skills. I also volunteer at a local Salvos store on Saturdays. To say I’m very busy is an understatement but I love everything I do.
What do you love the most about your jobs?
All my jobs teach me valuable skills and I love that every day is so different. From serving coffee and meals, taking orders and clearing tables, to helping people find items in the store. I particularly like working on the registers and working on my money skills. Working in fantastic teams is wonderful and I love meeting new people in the community every day.

I have had lots of memorable moments but something I am really proud of is getting my Barista Certificate.
