What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values safety and excellence, offering growth opportunities.

With over 15 years of experience in the maritime hospitality industry, I am a seasoned leader in governance and sanitation. My extensive knowledge of public health protocols, both in the US and EU, has enabled me to implement and maintain high standards of hygiene and safety aboard cruise ships. I am trilingual in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, which enhances my ability to communicate effectively with diverse teams and guests.

Throughout my career, I have held various positions, from Cabin Steward to Executive Governance Supervisor, where I have led cleaning operations, conducted inspections, and trained staff to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. My commitment to maintaining high cleanliness standards has consistently resulted in excellent inspection scores and guest satisfaction.

I am passionate about fostering a culture of safety and excellence within my teams. My experience in crisis response and problem-solving, combined with my strong leadership skills, positions me as a valuable asset in any hospitality environment.
