What I'm looking for

I seek a client-focused travel role with opportunities for growth, collaborative teams, and responsibilities in reservations, ticketing, and sales.

I am an experienced travel consultant with a Bachelor of Travel and Tours Operations Management and a proven record in air ticketing, hotel and vehicle reservations, itinerary planning, and customer care across multiple travel companies.

I have consistently delivered cost-effective, client-focused travel solutions using Galileo and Aero CRS systems, handled bookings and refunds, maintained financial records, and supported sales and marketing initiatives that strengthened client relationships.

I am dependable, a quick learner, and committed to continuous growth; I bring strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills to collaborative teams and aim to contribute to an organization that values service excellence and professional development.
