Industrious Guest Services Agent skilled in resolving guest complaints utilizing tact, diplomacy and critical thinking. Driven to foster satisfaction and superior service through dedication to exceeding guest expectations. I'm able to perform tasks on time even when under pressure or in stressful situations. My strong suit is costumer service and staying calm under pressure. I also have experience of working between two different hotels that are part of a dual property.
