Summary

An out-of the box and creative problem solver and team leader trained in both the hospitality industry environment and the corporate environment. By effortlessly weaving unconventional concepts and breathing life into endeavours, my bubbly, creative, and imaginative approach to work offers an exciting perspective and a breath of fresh air. With strong-mindedness, endearing quirkiness, and unwavering resilience, I am not afraid to tackle any issues that could possibly arise upfront. With my long-time experience in hospitality and project management, I am equipped to work in fast-paced and pressure- demanding environments whether it be by meeting deadlines, handling difficult situations with people, and exceeding expectations in job requirements.
