Lucy Kruger

I am an experienced performer and creative professional with strong communication skills and a love for working with people. Through years of international touring, I have developed adaptability, teamwork, and problem-solving under pressure — skills I am eager to bring into a hospitality environment. I enjoy creating welcoming, memorable experiences and am seeking part-time opportunities in Berlin within cafés, bars, and event spaces.
