What I'm looking for
I’m a customer-focused hospitality professional with over six years of expertise in front office operations, reservations management, and client relations.

Across CHAK Guest House and Conference Centre, Maiya’s Salon and Spa, Mwema’s Mall, and Jarvis Limited, I’ve consistently supported sales and marketing initiatives, handled operational coordination, and contributed to service recovery and quality. I enjoy stepping into supervisory and promotional roles, collaborating across departments, and keeping records accurate while ensuring smooth arrivals, departures, and special requests.
