With over 16 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I have developed a strong passion and expertise for F&B operations, customer service, and team management. Some of my previous role are Hotel General Manger , Food and Beverage Manager , with international luxury hospitality brands while a Project Manager for F&B Operations Excellence at Royal Caribbean International, I was in charge of implementing F&B policies, procedures, and best practices across nine cruise ships. I completed multiple projects that enhanced efficiency, revenue, and guest feedback, such as menu engineering, waste management, and service optimization. I have an MBA in Hospitality Management from University of Wales, Cardiff, and a Lean Six Sigma White Belt Certification, which equip me with strategic thinking and data-driven decision making skills.
