What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a hospitality industry role where I can use my customer service, front office, and quality operations experience to contribute to company success.

I've supported guest experience and hotel operations at Clarion Hotel by Atlantica, Westin Wall Centre Vancouver Airport, Fairmont Vancouver Airport, and Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre. I coordinate closely with housekeeping, food and beverage, front office, and maintenance teams to maintain service and quality standards.

As Front Desk Manager on Duty at Westin, I oversaw daily front desk operations, resolved guest issues in real time, supervised and scheduled staff, managed inventory and reservations, and monitored occupancy, revenue, and guest feedback. My background also includes Fairmont Gold supervision, concierge and lounge service, banking customer service, and hospitality management training.
