My journey in the hospitality industry began in the epitome of luxury tourism: Dubai. I started in the world of sales where I’ve had the privilege of absorbing invaluable knowledge and experiences. Working in this environment has allowed me to explore the European and international markets. Each experience and each challenge, is an opportunity to learn and grow in this fascinating hospitality industry and now being part of Soul and Story Collection, marks a milestone in my career.
