Grace Gunn
@gracegunn
I manage hospitality operations that create exceptional guest experiences.
What I'm looking for
I manage day-to-day operations at Dreamsea Surf Camp Costa Rica, overseeing accommodations, restaurant and bar services, reservations, volunteer schedules, events, surf lessons, and community activities for a 120-person-capacity hostel.
I've built my career across Hacienda Tamarindo, Les Sommets, self-employed landscaping, and Uniprix, leading teams, resolving customer concerns, coordinating logistics, and maintaining high service standards in fast-paced environments. As a former varsity rugby athlete with a Biology degree, I bring a hands-on, calm-under-pressure approach to operations and guest satisfaction.
