What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to leverage my skills and contribute to organizational success.

I am a dedicated professional with a diverse background in management, hospitality, and administration. Over the years, I have honed my skills in planning, organizing, and leading operations in various roles, including my time as a Manager at Domino's Lounge and Bar, where I successfully oversaw business operations and ensured customer satisfaction.

My experience as a Receptionist at Protea Hotel allowed me to develop strong communication skills while managing guest relations and reservations. Additionally, my role in Administration Support at Esteem Services equipped me with the ability to handle office operations efficiently, manage financial records, and maintain a high level of organization. Currently, I am expanding my expertise as a Financial Associate at AVBOB, where I continue to contribute to the success of the organization.
