What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a guest relations, customer service role where I can deliver service, support international guests, solve probleme quickly, and grow in a fast-paced hospitality environment.

At Roter Tourism, Hospitality & Construction Ltd. Co., I manage the complete guest journey, from reservations and check-in to billing, requests, and departure. I resolve concerns proactively while helping create a welcoming, personalized experience for local and international guests.

Previously, at Galataport Cruise Terminal through İnka Human Resources, I supported check-in, boarding, and passenger services for Costa Cruises, MSC Cruises, and Viking Cruises. I worked in Turkish and English to maintain safe, organized passenger flow during high-volume international operations.

I'm passionate about premium guest experiences and bring a customer-focused approach to guest relations, front office operations, communication, and problem resolution.
