What I'm looking for

I’m open to diverse opportunities and projects across operations, hospitality, events, creative work, communications, writing, and language services. I’m adaptable, curious, and always interested in new challenges where I can add value.

I am a dedicated and responsible professional with strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills. Over the years, I have gained experience across different sectors, including hospitality, events, education, and freelance work. My experience ranges from managing restaurant operations and supervising hotel activities to organizing events and working directly with clients, teams, and external partners. I have also worked as a translator and ghostwriter, which has strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, work independently, and adapt to different audiences and situations. I am proactive, organized, and comfortable taking on a wide range of responsibilities, managing multiple tasks, and solving problems as they arise. My varied experience has taught me to adapt quickly, take initiative, and maintain a high standard of work in both independent and team-based environments.
