Summary

With a robust foundation in both practical skills acquired from previous hotel experiences and theoretical knowledge gained through hospitality studies, including a minor in marketing, I am a versatile hospitality professional adept in both Front of House (FOH) and Back of House (BOH) operations.

I bring an unwavering passion for hospitality, coupled with a commitment to hard work and continuous learning. My ability to adapt swiftly to new technologies positions me advantageously in any department within the organization. Recognized for a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and unwavering dedication, I am a loyal contributor to the workplace.

With over five years of customer service experience, I possess above-average communication skills and interpersonal abilities. My aim is to leverage this expertise, along with a demonstrated capacity for rapid adaptation to new environments, to contribute positively to any company I join.
