Hospitality-focused IT technician and marine tour guide delivering technical and guest-facing excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a hospitality-focused IT technician and qualified marine tour guide with hands-on experience in front-of-house management, IT support, and sales. I have led guest check-ins, managed bookings and PMS systems, increased retail sales by over 60%, and provided on-site IT troubleshooting and device setup across education and property environments.
I combine practical technical skills—PC building, network setup, VoIP basics—and strong client-relations abilities to ensure excellent guest and client experiences. I work well independently or in teams, embrace learning, and bring dependable operational oversight and technical problem-solving to roles in hospitality, IT, or tour operations.
