What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values customer experience and offers opportunities for growth.

With over 8 years of experience in hospitality and customer service, I excel in creating memorable journeys for clients around the globe. My career has been defined by my ability to provide VIP-level guest experiences, manage complex itineraries, and deliver exceptional remote support. I pride myself on being organized, empathetic, and tech-savvy, ensuring that every detail is attended to for a seamless travel experience.

Currently, I serve as a Guest Relations Manager at SWEETT Apartments in Barcelona, where I oversee check-in/out processes, manage guest complaints, and coordinate transfers and excursions for a portfolio of 250 apartments. My previous role as a Night Guest Relations Agent at Langham Hotels in Australia allowed me to deliver luxury customer service, consistently exceeding guest expectations. I have also worked as a remote Travel Agent, where I designed complex travel itineraries and provided real-time support to clients, resulting in high repeat booking rates.
