Trilingual guest relations and hospitality professional skilled in CRM accuracy and empathetic issue resolution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a trilingual hospitality professional fluent in Arabic, French and English, with strong experience in guest-facing roles and a calm, solution-focused approach. I’m committed to resolving issues efficiently and delivering a positive customer experience.
As a Senior Guest Relations Executive, I coordinate data across multiple departments to keep records consistent and up to date. I accurately entered and updated guest profiles, reservation details, and special requests into the hotel CRM system daily, turning sensitive situations into positive outcomes through empathy.
Previously, I worked as a Restaurant Hostess and Restaurant waitress, where I managed high volume of guest records, entered real-time reservation and seating data using the hotel booking and POS systems, and ensured accuracy during peak service. I greeted customers, presented menus, took orders, recommended meal promotions, and supported guests with dietary concerns using strong menu knowledge.
Before hospitality, I served as a Medical Assistant, welcoming and registering patients, scheduling appointments with the clinic diary system, and handling phone and email communications. I bring the same attention to detail, hospitality etiquette, and effective communication to every interaction.
