Maylin- Cruz

I am a seasoned hospitality professional based in different countries in the Middle East for 13 years, I have had the privilege to work in various responsibilities and departments. My professional journey started as a Secondary School Teacher in the Philippines, where I practiced my teaching career for two years. However, I decided to seek new challenges and a better future abroad, which led me to the hospitality industry.

Throughout my career in the hospitality industry, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience in various positions. Starting off in the Food and Beverage department, I quickly climbed the ranks and was promoted as the Business Development Coordinator. My thirst for knowledge and willingness to learn new things opened up doors of opportunity for me and helped me secure a position as the Personal Assistant to General Manager/Human Resources In-charge in the same hotel chain. I was entrusted with various management responsibilities that helped me broaden my skills and expertise.

After gaining ample experience in the hotel industry, I got an offer to work in Bahrain during the pandemic and worked as the Executive Assistant to Managing Director in Oil & Gas company. After a year of gaining a different kind of experience, I got an opportunity to go back to the hospitality industry as a Human Resources/Training Executive in Qatar, where I currently work.

My experience in hospitality has equipped me with a range of skills including communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and people management. I have learned to be flexible, adaptable, and thrive in a dynamic environment. I am a team player but also work independently to achieve excellent results.
