What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my hospitality skills in a travel consulting environment, focusing on personalized service and client satisfaction.

As an experienced hospitality professional with a strong background in luxury service and operations, I am eager to transition into high-end travel consulting. My goal is to deliver personalized, detail-oriented service to French-speaking clients while designing unforgettable safari experiences. With my expertise in customer care, team coordination, and high standards of quality, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively in a remote, client-focused role.

Throughout my career, I have held various positions that have honed my skills in the hospitality industry. At Hotel Altapura, I designed service protocols and supported the restaurant’s opening, ensuring a seamless experience for guests. My role as an F&B executive assistant involved overseeing administrative and operational tasks, including budgeting and scheduling, which further developed my organizational skills. I have also participated in hotel openings and SOP creation, demonstrating my commitment to excellence in service delivery.

My experience as a head waitress and housekeeping supervisor has equipped me with the ability to manage teams effectively and deliver exceptional guest experiences. I am passionate about creating memorable moments for clients and am excited about the opportunity to leverage my skills in a new and challenging environment.
