Having previously worked with UHNWIs, I am comfortable in a guest facing environment. I’m social and active with a positive mentality and a good sense of humour. Having grown up internationally, English is my first language and I get along with people from all walks of life. At 29, I am mature, career driven, with a longer-term plan for the industry, looking to prove myself.
