Summary

After 5 and a half years of customer service experience, I have gained a high level of skills and knowledge in all areas of hospitality. These skills include conflict resolution, training beginner staff, and a passion for building relationships with customers and colleagues. While I thoroughly enjoyed developing my hospitality skills, I now aim to further advance my professional career and pursue future opportunities in administation.
