About

I have always been taught that the most challenging guests, are those arriving unhappy. They will require all your strengths and experience to satisfy. If you do so, happily, then you have hospitality in you blood. Worked at the Waterside inn, the Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, The Arts Club Dubai. Aspiring manager. Self motivated. Enjoy a challenge. Question myself. Eager for knowledge. Accept being wrong. Listen to everyone.
