Evangelia Theofilopoulou
Hospitality worker
Rethymno
Summary
I have been working in the hospitality industry for almost 10 years, gaining experience in bars, pubs, and restaurants. I truly enjoy working with people and creating a welcoming atmosphere. What I love most about hospitality is the opportunity to meet and connect with different people every day. I am a fast learner, highly adaptable, and work well under pressure. Currently, I am employed as a secretary at the Union of Hospitality in Rethymno, where I help organize events, support local professionals, and contribute to the development of the hospitality sector in my town. Alongside this role, I also work shifts as a head waiter at Bricks, a popular bar known for its food and wide selection of Greek beers.
