What I'm looking for

I am looking for frontline roles that prioritize safety-first service and multicultural teamwork, where I can grow in leadership, training, and guest-experience responsibilities.

I am a luxury hospitality and guest-safety professional holding lifeguard, CPR/AED, and first aid certifications, experienced in fast-paced, multicultural environments.

I have worked as a lifeguard and VIP hostess at major attractions, managing bookings, coordinating guest flow, and resolving conflicts with professionalism. I earned Lifeguard of the Month and ACES Awards and competed in the UAE Lifeguard Championships.

I am TEFL-certified (120 hours) and an accredited personal trainer (ISSA), with experience coaching team sports and delivering structured training sessions that emphasize safety, technique, and confidence.

I bring calm communication, attention to detail, and a guest-centered approach, seeking opportunities that combine safety leadership, frontline service, and training responsibilities.
