What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can lead operations, strengthen customer experiences, maintain high safety standards, and contribute to continuous improvement and broader organizational goals.

I currently work at Aquarabia Qiddiya City, where I scan assigned aquatic zones, identify hazards, conduct technical rescues, and enforce safety regulations.

Previously, I managed restaurant operations at Spur Steak Ranch, leading staff, managing finances, supporting menu development with chefs, and maintaining health and safety compliance.

I also taught swimming at Brettonwood High School, coaching strokes, turns, starts, discipline, focus, and sportsmanship while supporting competition logistics.

With a BCom in International Business, TEFL training, and First Aid and CPR certifications, I bring operational focus, customer service, inventory control, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
