I lead customer experiences, operations, teams and events across hospitality, travel and education.
What I'm looking for
I've managed customer-facing operations, enrolments, events and communications for Jazzy J's Dance Academy, supporting more than 200 students. I handle enquiries, bookings, scheduling, invoicing and payments while improving processes for families, staff and suppliers.
At The Riverfront York and Bosun's Restaurant, I led multi-service site and restaurant operations, including recruitment, training, rotas, guest relationships, suppliers and events. My work contributed to Bosun's Restaurant achieving 2 AA Rosettes and its first 5-star hygiene rating since opening.
I've also coordinated international travel experiences with Black Girls Travel Too and delivered luxury guest service at The Cliff Restaurant. I enjoy creating smooth, well-organised experiences for customers and the teams behind them.
