What I'm looking for

I seek a role in luxury hospitality or partnerships where I can drive guest satisfaction, grow sales and leads, manage cross‑border relationships, and contribute to events and property operations.

I am a hospitality professional with extensive experience in luxury resorts, villa sales, guest relations, and international partnership development, having worked across Maldives, Singapore, and regional markets. I consistently drive guest satisfaction, grow prospects and leads, and support cross‑border operations and events through careful coordination and high‑touch service.

My achievements include doubling sales prospects quickly at a luxury resort, multiple employee awards for service excellence, and supporting international educational and business partnerships. I bring strong relationship management, event planning, upselling and property oversight skills, and fluency in Mandarin and English to roles that require cultural sensitivity and operational follow‑through.
