Summary

As a Business Owner at Same Sushi, I combine my passion for entrepreneurship and hospitality with my skills and experience as a Flight Attendant. I have been running my own sushi restaurant for over nine years, delivering high-quality food and service to my customers, and managing all aspects of the business operations, from marketing and finance to staff and inventory.

After becoming a Business Owner I fulfilled my childhood dream of becoming a Flight attendant, where I provided exceptional customer service and safety to passengers on international and domestic flights. I also gained valuable sills in multi-tasking, communication, teamwork, and problem solving, as well as exposure to different cultures and languages. My education in Business Administration and Management helped me to understand the dynamics and challenges of the airline industry, and to apply my knowledge and insights to my own Business venture.

My mission is to work with people and make their dreams a reality, wether it is through serving them delicious sushi, flying them to their desired destinations, or introducing them to the possibilities of entrepreneurship. I enjoy every day as a new adventure and I always strive to learn, grow, and improve myself and mu business. I believe in enjoying life now, and protecting it for the future.
