After obtaining my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Sport Science, I have had the privilege of gaining additional skills and experience that have made me suitable for a variety of career options. One of my most notable experiences was working for the renowned Walt Disney Company on their cruise liners for five years, where I fulfilled challenging Front/Back office and Customer Service roles, catering to the needs of 4000 guests and 1200 crew members. The extensive training provided by Disney has endowed me with the confidence to assist guests with various needs.
Furthermore, I have continued to develop my skills in marketing, office administration, and work planning while working for Dm-drogerie markt d.o.o. and a geotechnical company.
A year ago, I joined the Royal College of Physicians as an Assistant Workplace Property Manager, covering maturity leave. This role has expanded my skills and work vision. A role that's been very fulfilling in a state-of-the-art eco building.
I consider myself a dependable and organized team player with excellent communication skills. I am hardworking, reliable, and fully dedicated to my work. I am capable of building strong relationships with employees at all levels of an organization, thereby enhancing teamwork and collaboration. I am always eager to learn, gain new experiences, and achieve my goals while contributing to my organization's success.
