What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and offers growth opportunities in the travel industry.

I am a dedicated travel and tourism professional with extensive experience in customer service and operations management. My journey began in South Africa, where I honed my skills in travel consultancy and marketing, eventually leading to my role as a Destination Manager specializing in African safaris and Mediterranean travel. I have a proven track record of exceeding sales targets and delivering exceptional service to clients.

Throughout my career, I have worked with renowned companies such as Mercedes-Benz UK and Apple, where I developed strong communication and problem-solving skills. My academic background in Arts and Heritage Management, combined with my practical experience, allows me to approach challenges creatively and strategically. I am passionate about creating memorable travel experiences and continuously seek opportunities to grow and learn within the industry.
