Costa Rica

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my marketing skills in the travel industry, focusing on creating personalized experiences and fostering client relationships.

I am a driven professional transitioning into the travel services industry, bringing a strong foundation in luxury sales, marketing, and personalized client experiences. My deep knowledge of Costa Rica’s destinations and culture allows me to create enriching travel itineraries tailored to client preferences. I am passionate about enhancing the travel experience through meticulous planning and local insights.

In my previous role as a Marketing Coordinator at The Engine Group Inc., I managed customer engagement and coordinated internal and external teams to execute successful campaigns. I directed Simba Sleep Canada’s gifting program, ensuring high-quality copywriting for blogs and websites while monitoring customer feedback across social platforms. My leadership in influencer marketing and content creation has equipped me with the skills necessary to thrive in the travel services sector.

With certification as a Travel Counsellor and extensive experience in luxury retail, I have consistently delivered exceptional customer experiences that drive repeat business. My local expertise in Costa Rica, combined with strong community connections, enables me to design tailored travel plans that reflect client preferences and seasonal considerations, ensuring unforgettable journeys for every traveler.
