Honours graduate in Hospitality Management with extensive event coordination experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Hospitality Management, complemented by comprehensive experience in event coordination and administrative support. My journey began with an internship at Adansonia Hotel, where I honed my skills in guest relations and operational support. Since then, I have taken on various roles, including my current position as a Personal Assistant at DP Events, where I ensure seamless event execution and manage client communications effectively.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to thrive in fast-paced environments, delivering exceptional customer service and supporting diverse teams. My experience as a Sales Associate at You Reign Empire allowed me to develop strong organizational skills while managing inventory and enhancing the shopping experience for clients. I am passionate about pursuing opportunities in the cruise ship and international hospitality sectors, where I can leverage my skills to create memorable experiences for guests.
