Summary

Experienced and dedicated hospitality professional with a strong foundation in F&B operations and front-of-house service. Currently working as a Night Porter at the Ukrainian Accommodation Center, where I support guests and operations in a culturally diverse, high-responsibility environment. While this is my second FOH role, the main focus of my career has been food and beverage service —demonstrated through my time at Parknasilla Resort and Spa and onboard experience with Princess and Virgin Voyages. My background blends service coordination, customer care, and problem-solving in fast-paced settings. I hold a degree in Hotel Management and have completed further training in personnel and service management. I’m known for staying focused and steady under pressure, with a keen eye for detail and a natural ability to connect with people. I’m now looking to contribute to a forward-thinking hospitality team where quality and integrity matter...
