Ex-Rugby player
My background as a rugby player shaped the core strengths I use every day in hospitality: teamwork, discipline, communication, and the ability to stay calm and effective under pressure. Rugby taught me to anticipate needs, support my team, and maintain a high level of performance — all essential skills for delivering outstanding guest experiences in fast-paced environments such as hotels, lodges, and luxury resorts.
