Available to hire
Hi, I’m Batyr Kabdygaliyev, an 18-year-old music student at the University of Hertfordshire. I am open-minded, social, and passionate about music, with a strong interest in hospitality where I enjoy meeting new people and working as a reliable part of a team. Having lived in four countries and speaking four languages, I am adaptable, culturally aware, and quick to communicate across diverse groups.
In my free time I play the guitar, explore new music, and travel. I’m eager to learn new skills and grow both personally and professionally, with a dream of saving enough to travel the world.
