Why hire me
Employers should hire me because I bring two years of hands-on experience in the luxury Dubai short-term rental market, combined with strong guest care, operational and team coordination skills. I have managed a portfolio of 30+ properties remotely, coordinating cleaners, drivers, maintenance providers and management teams while overseeing the guest journey from booking through to checkout. I am proactive, organised and solution-focused, and I take ownership of issues rather than waiting for someone else to resolve them. I also have a strong focus on process improvement, regularly identifying inefficiencies and implementing practical solutions that make operations smoother and more scalable. I believe my ability to remain calm under pressure, communicate effectively with different stakeholders and balance excellent guest service with operational efficiency would allow me to make an immediate and meaningful contribution to any team.
