About me
I am proactive and highly motivated with a “yes I can” attitude, always trying to deliver the best of me in everything I do. Naturally friendly with a good sense of humour while keeping professional at all times by following and practising the company's standards and views. My journey in London has allowed me to work in different industries and sectors at hotels with highly demanding standards, increasing my customer service skills, experience and knowledge, including how to handle most guests' complaints. Due to my desire to learn and motivation, I also have ten-plus years of accounts work background, covering the roles of accounts payable, receivable, income audit and the purchasing goods department. Within this time, I was crowned Employee of the Year twice. I am now looking for new opportunities to develop my knowledge and skills and add value to an organisation.
