Summary

Having worked in aviation industry for 11years, I have been able to gain some experience and have a wholistic understanding on the journey of a guest. Previously, I have worked at the check in, boarding gate, transfer desk and also at the baggage and hotel accommodation desk, earlier before joining my current role as a travel advisor. Most of this journey has been as a travel advisor this being the 9th year. I have been able to learn some selling skills, problem solving and communication skills. I have also coached successfully some new staff members and assisted in solving several ticketing issues during my period as an acting lead travel advisor.
