What I'm looking for

I seek client-focused roles leveraging my multilingual tour, translation, and guest-service experience in a collaborative, international environment where I can support operations and enhance visitor experiences.

I am a multilingual tourism and customer-service professional with 20+ years guiding tours in Lanzarote and extensive experience in translation, reception, bookings, and administrative support. I have provided private excursions, multilingual interpretation for hospitals, police and notary offices, and supported managers with correspondence and office tasks.

Practical, fast-learning and highly adaptable, I combine strong intercultural awareness with client-focused communication and sales support. I deliver reliable multilingual customer service (EN/NL/ES/DE/FR), content translation, and administrative assistance for international clients and organizations.
