Summary
With over 10 years of experience, I have developed a diverse skill set in customer service, management, and organizational ethics. Prioritizing strong relationships with my team, I create an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable and equal. I effectively communicate any concerns to my manager for necessary adjustments. Additionally, I excel at building friendly and professional relationships with new team leaders while considering the best interests of all team members. Before my management role, I worked part-time in the grocery department, maintaining inventory accuracy and promptly reporting any discrepancies. I consistently ensured clear and organized shelves, faced products, and had comprehensive knowledge of item locations and prices. Whenever necessary, I seamlessly ran the grocery department in the absence of the manager and willingly worked extended shifts to ensure smooth operations.
As a Travel Consultant, I am passionate about providing dream experiences in leisure travel. With a strong research background and a love for all things travel, I have had an extensive career in hospitality working with clients pursuing unique vacation adventures. Currently seeking a full-time position that offers professional challenges where I can utilize my interpersonal skills, excellent time management, and problem-solving abilities.
