What I'm looking for

I'm seeking cruise ship opportunities in restaurant service, food and beverage, dining stewardship, or guest services where I can deliver professional, guest-focused service in a multicultural, high-volume environment.

I'm currently managing administration, guest service, and operations at Symphony Hotels and Eseriani Hotels and Resorts, supervising front office, housekeeping, kitchen, and support teams.

I coordinate service delivery, resolve guest escalations, support budgeting and reporting, and work with suppliers, partners, and event teams to uphold hotel standards.

My background spans restaurant service, banqueting, reception, reservations, housekeeping, and fine dining across hotels and resorts including Blooming Suites, Newstead Hotel, Jacaranda Indian Ocean Beach Resort, and Enashipai Resort and Spa.
