With over 10 years of experience in hospitality, I began my career in food and beverage as a Restaurant Manager, where I developed strong operational and team leadership skills. I later transitioned into the hotel industry, expanding my expertise in guest services, operational management, and human resources. I excel at listening and responding to both guests and team members, ensuring they feel valued and supported, while setting clear goals and empowering teams to achieve success.
As a Guest Services Manager, I developed strong expertise in team leadership, process improvement, and implementing procedures to elevate service standards. My background in human resources allows me to coach and mentor staff and leadership on policies, compliance, and best practices, fostering a fair, accountable, and high-performing workplace. By combining operational knowledge, regulatory expertise, and a passion for hospitality, I am ready to take on the Operations Manager role where I can drive both employee development and operational excellence.
