My previous roles, such as Deputy General Manager at Southern Sun and Food and Beverage Manager at Emirates Leisure Retail, showcase my ability to drive strategic initiatives, implement sustainable practices, and manage costs effectively. With a solid foundation in hospitality management from Cornell University and a deep understanding of wine and spirits, I excel in fostering a collaborative culture and maintaining high standards in luxury hospitality settings, making myself well-suited for senior operational roles.
