What I'm looking for

I seek a hospitality operations or management role that values guest experience, team leadership, operational efficiency, and opportunities to contribute to marketing and content initiatives.

I am a hospitality manager with hands-on experience running hostels, cafés, and retail operations while supporting content and marketing efforts. I blend front-line guest service and team leadership with practical operational skills such as inventory, POS, and accounting sheets.

I have managed teams of up to 12 local staff and volunteer teams, led reception and check-in operations, and coordinated event planning and profitability efforts. I also perform SEO optimization and social media management to increase visibility and bookings.

In parallel, I have experience preparing, labeling, and validating data for AI training, and I have worked as a barista across multiple busy outlets, delivering gourmet coffee and excellent customer service.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish, hold a BS with a double major in Political Science and Literature, and have a 120-hour TEFL certificate, reflecting my interest in hospitality, teaching, and cross-cultural work.
