Lead housekeeper/receptionist - Lake Okanagan Resort - Kelowna, BC

(2012 - 2015)

I was in charge of teams of eight, or more employees to clean the condos and units for the resort. I made sure all the rooms were up to hotel standards, as well as the guests. I had to report all issues to the hotel manager, as we worked together for the smooth operation of the resort.

I also make up daily schedules for that day. Did an inventory of stock. Went in when others were sick, also did the laundry and ran it. Helped maintain the landscaping of the resort and golf course. I also filled in on days needed at the front desk.
