Throughout my career, I have successfully owned and operated multiple spa and hospitality businesses, where I honed my skills in human resource management, customer service, and operational excellence.

My role as an owner has allowed me to develop comprehensive customer service training programs and implement effective business and financial plans for small and medium enterprises. I take pride in my ability to inspire and lead teams, ensuring that high standards are maintained across all operations.
