NetherlandsWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate educator and travel professional with a diverse background in teaching and the tourism industry. My experience as a kindergarten teacher at Velammal New-Gen School in Chennai has equipped me with the skills to develop engaging curricula that meet state standards. I am committed to fostering a nurturing environment that promotes the intellectual, physical, and social-emotional development of my students.
Prior to my teaching career, I spent several years in the travel sector, working with reputable companies in Singapore. My roles ranged from Senior Reservation Executive at Star Holiday Mart to customer service positions at various travel agencies. I excelled in managing MICE travel arrangements and developing promotional packages tailored to market needs. My ability to multitask and communicate effectively has been key to my success in these fast-paced environments.
With a strong educational foundation, including a Master of Psychology and various diplomas in travel and tourism management, I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a new role that allows me to contribute positively to a dynamic team.
