Summary
I have extensive experience across various industries, including healthcare, education, hospitality, and the performing arts. My background includes working as a psychiatric nurse in different wards and youth welfare services, as well as serving as a substitute teacher in several schools. I have also built strong expertise in event planning and management, working as an event planner, manager, and hostess both on land and aboard yachts and cruise ships around the world. In addition, I have experience in acting and performing, choreography, and teaching Latin dance. My hospitality roles include working as a waitress, promoter, model, and game instructor at Escape Room Helsinki, as well as a travel fair hostess and sports and activities leader in Turkey and Tenerife.
