What I'm looking for

At Marina Palawan Boutique Resort, I led the reopening after a three-year closure, relaunching front office, housekeeping, food and beverage, and events. I also standardized procedures and reporting across departments.
As Operations Manager at Marina Palawan Boutique Resort, I directed daily operations across a 26-room property and led 20–30 staff. I managed guest experience, service recovery, supplier relationships, and staff training.
I founded and operate Iconik Travel Services, a social enterprise offering sustainable, community-based tours and active holidays in Palawan. I run its sales, operations, and finance, and build trip products with local partners.
