Summary

With over a decade of experience in customer service, content creation, and operations management, I have developed a versatile skill set that thrives in dynamic and customer-focused environments. My journey spans the tourism, real estate, and media sectors, where I’ve honed my abilities in effective communication, problem-solving, and team collaboration.

I successfully managed a 38-room hostel, where I streamlined operations, enhanced guest satisfaction, and cultivated a welcoming atmosphere for global travelers. As a content editor, I created engaging digital content that resonated with audiences across technology, gadgets, and lifestyle topics, driving growth and interaction on a platform with over 690,000 followers.

In my recent role as a Seasonal Interpreter at Heritage Park, I combined storytelling with in-depth research to deliver immersive historical experiences, enriching my understanding of Canadian culture and heritage. Now based in Canada, I am eager to bring my adaptable and creative approach to new challenges in innovative and customer-centric industries.

I am passionate about continuous learning and leveraging my diverse expertise to elevate customer experiences. Open to new opportunities and connections—let’s connect and explore how we can create impact together.
