Hello there! 🌍 Lake Havasu City, Arizona, is my hometown, but for the past five years, I've been calling Europe my second home. I have a deep-seated passion for the travel industry, and I'm always seeking new opportunities to explore and learn. I've been fortunate enough to live in four different countries and embark on adventures to 27 others across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. These experiences have enriched my life, exposing me to diverse cultures, languages, and markets.My professional journey kicked off with an internship at AB InBev, where I worked as a Credit Risk Analyst at AB InBev, the world's leading brewer, where I supported the credit risk management team with data analysis, reporting, and process improvement. I used Excel and Power BI to create and update dashboards, monitor key performance indicators, and identify trends and anomalies. I also assisted with the implementation of new credit policies and procedures, and provided recommendations to optimize the credit risk exposure and collection efficiency.My academic background includes a Bachelor's degree in International Business and Trade from Thomas More University of Applied Sciences. I had the privilege of broadening my horizons even further during an exchange semester at the University of Aruba, where I delved into the worlds of accounting and finance.In addition to my professional and academic pursuits, I've gained valuable communication skills through various customer service roles, including waitress, bartender, barista, and lifeguard. These experiences underscored the importance of effective communication and customer-centric service.My ultimate goal is to leverage my finance expertise, intercultural competencies, and unwavering passion for the travel industry to carve a niche for myself in the global business arena. I'm a firm believer in lifelong learning and am excited about the prospect of embracing new challenges and opportunities.
