What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in hospitality where I can leverage my skills and grow professionally.

I am a dedicated hospitality professional with a strong background in customer service and team leadership. My journey began in the vibrant restaurant industry, where I honed my skills as a waiter and head waiter across various esteemed establishments. With a cumulative GPA of 3.72 in my Bachelor of Translation from Lebanese International University, I bring a unique blend of academic knowledge and practical experience to every role I undertake.

Throughout my career, I have consistently exceeded sales targets by employing effective upselling techniques and providing exceptional service to guests. My experience as a clothing sales associate further enhanced my ability to connect with customers, ensuring their needs are met while maintaining a safe and inviting environment. I am passionate about creating memorable experiences for patrons and thrive in fast-paced settings where I can lead and support my team.
