About
I lead a multilingual front-desk team and help guests feel at home from embarkation to their last morning aboard. My cruise career began at reception, where I learned that a calm explanation and a thoughtful handover can change someone's entire voyage. I now coach new crew, coordinate accessible travel requests and work closely with housekeeping, shore excursions and the night team.
