About me

Since I was little, I could sit for hours listening to people share their stories. So I found my way into customer service, a world where I meet people, hear their stories, and sometimes turn a stressful moment into a happy one.

I was born on 14 February 2001 in Vélez-Málaga, a town in Andalucía where the sea and the mountains are part of daily life. Growing up there gave me a deep appreciation for nature, family and the small details that make everyday moments meaningful.

Before hotels, I worked in agriculture: long days harvesting fruit in the fields of Málaga. It taught me the value of effort and adaptability, and that there is nothing better than enjoying your work.

Today I want to keep learning, keep improving, and build a future where passion and perseverance go hand in hand. The next chapter of that future is in Norway.

Personal skills

How I work

I'm organised and responsible, and I like to see tasks through to the end. I adapt easily, I'm not afraid of challenges, and I look for solutions when things don't go as planned.

Organisation

I plan ahead, manage my time well and make sure nothing is left unfinished, even when things get busy.

Responsibility

When I commit to something, I do it with care and dedication so the result is the best it can be.

Communication

I enjoy listening as much as speaking. For me, communication builds trust and a positive connection.

Teamwork

I share ideas, listen and support my colleagues so we reach common goals together.

Positivity

Good energy is contagious. A smile, kindness and patience make a real difference at work.

Calmness

In stressful situations I stay calm, focus on solutions and help the people around me stay on track.

Outside work

Happiest on a mountain

Hiking, fresh air and that mix of peace and freedom that nature gives. I also love quiet afternoons with films, dancing, and time with the people I care about. Small circles, good conversations, genuine moments.

Contact

Next stop: Norway.

I'm open to new opportunities in Norway. I adapt easily, learn fast and bring experience in reception, customer service, administration, hospitality and kitchen work. If you think I could fit in your team, I'd be glad to hear from you.
