HOSTESS
Summary

PERSONAL PROFILE From working in 5-star spa's onboard cruise liners, to working onboard international flights for Emirates Airline, I've learned how to deliver fast-paced customer service within stressful and challenging situations. My experience as a receptionist and hostess has helped me to broaden my knowledge of information handling and how to take care of administrative tasks successfully. I am not afraid to step outside of my professional capabilities to develop myself. I am friendly, well organized and task focused. With commitment and dedication, I see myself growing in this company and hopefully take on higher positions in the future.
