What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote full-time, part-time or contract roles, including opportunities aligned with US and European hours.

Since November 2024, I’ve run day-to-day operations for a portfolio of 15–20 short-term rental apartments in Cape Town, including units at Mandela Rhodes Place and Leisure Bay. I manage nightly rates and booking calendars, and handle reservations from enquiry through check-out.

I oversee housekeeping and maintenance, leading six cleaners, a maintenance technician and an admin assistant. I also communicate with apartment owners about performance and unit care, and represent the business on the short-term letting sub-committee.

At One&Only One Za'abeel, I was part of the pre-opening team, supporting guest arrivals and departures, reservations and guest account management. I implemented a Pit Check and Docket filing system for the Front Office team and produced front office reporting.

Earlier, I managed overall hotel operations at The Bantry Bay Suite Hotel and implemented SOPs checked through routine inspections. My hospitality experience also includes reservations at The Alphen and The Marly Boutique Hotels, and front office work at The Ritz-Carlton, Sharq Village.
