How has winning a Hotelier Award impacted your career?
I felt honoured to be recognised as the best in my class and I’m proud of what I have achieved throughout my career. I truly believe hard work pays off. My self-confidence has grown and within that my motivation and commitment to do even better. I also try be more of a role model to colleagues coming through the ranks, particularly as people will continue watching my next steps and career progression.
What advice would you give other hoteliers hoping to win a Hotelier Award?
I would say work with passion and love what you do. Set personal goals for career progression when you first start in a company and always strive to aim higher. Consistently improve your skills and tackle your weaknesses. Keep up with industry trends and get to know your market.
Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?
I hope to rise through the ranks and assume the role of regional spa and leisure general manager.
