Work History

Hospitality Intern

I took great pride in providing personalized and friendly service to clients and hotel guests during my tenure as an employee. My approach was always service-oriented, efficient, and friendly, which resulted in a significant increase in guest satisfaction. I was responsible for training and overseeing a team of 10+ housekeepers, ensuring that all areas were maintained to a high standard of cleanliness. My dedication to creating a clean and comfortable environment for guests made my work fulfilling and rewarding. After 6 months, I was promoted to room controller where I was responsible for monitoring occupancy rates, pricing structures, and competitors’ room rates. My main objective was to ensure that the hotel’s revenue goals were being met.

As an operations manager, I play a crucial role in ensuring that guests have an enjoyable and memorable vacation. Being the first point of contact for guests, I greet them at the airport and accompany them to their accommodations. I organize welcome meetings and sell excursions that create lifelong memories for them. In case of any issues that arise, from lost luggage to more serious concerns, I address them promptly and ensure that guests feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. My leadership skills enable me to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. I review employee performance, provide feedback, and mentor newly hired employees to ensure that everyone works together to provide the best possible service. Additionally, I plan, assign, and direct work, write and discuss employee performance appraisals, address employee performance and corrective action plans, and motivate and reward employees. Additionally, collaborate with local stakeholders, hoteliers, and transportation companies to ensure smooth operation at any destination I work with. By being dedicated, I help create a vacation experience that guests will cherish for years to come.
