Summary

Hospitality professional with a solid foundation in guest relations and customer service. I learned the art of creating memorable guest experiences at the prestigious hotel Hyatt Regency in New Orleans where I started as an Intern & I received knowledge of hospitality operations, contributing to positive and efficient service environment. Also, I worked in the historic Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans both of them, after completing my BA in hospitality and tourism in my home country, Peru.

As a reservations agent and front desk ambassador at Hotel Monteleone, I excelled at efficiently managing reservations, creating a welcoming check-in experience and resolving guest concerns. Recognized for outstanding teamwork and adaptability. I regularly provided concierge services to guests and started the hotel’s yoga program offering individual, group and bridal yoga and earning my 600 YTT certification. I truly enjoy the challenges of day-to-day hotel/resort operations and quickly grasp the culture of the properties that I represent.
