I’ve been attending The Gatelodge Café for a few years, and I really enjoy my role as Chief Barista. In this role, I’m responsible for making teas and coffees, greeting and serving customers, keeping the café clean, handling payments, and supporting other team members when needed. Being trusted with these responsibilities makes me feel proud and confident, and I enjoy knowing that I help the café run smoothly every day.

The Gatelodge Café is more than just a workplace to me, it’s a place where I’ve developed practical skills, built confidence, and learned how to work with others. The team encourages me to take on responsibilities and try new things, helping me grow every day.

Outside of work, I enjoy football, music, discos, Xbox, and writing.

Stepping Stones NI has helped me build skills, confidence, and independence, and I’m proud of everything I do.

We Make More Possible.
