What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values customer satisfaction and offers growth opportunities.

I am a highly motivated and dedicated professional with years of experience in the hospitality industry. Having successfully owned and managed three small businesses in the UK, I relocated to Lanzarote in October 2024, bringing with me a passion for delivering exceptional customer service and a commitment to high standards. My journey has been marked by a strong focus on customer satisfaction, which has earned me recognition and promotion throughout my career.

My experience spans various roles, including Villa Manager, Call Handler for the NHS Covid-19 Test & Trace Programme, and Sure Start Children’s Centre Manager. I excel in people management, problem-solving, and communication, ensuring that I lead teams effectively while meeting the needs of customers. I am adept at adapting to change and thrive in dynamic environments, always striving to provide the best possible experience for every customer.
