Etienne Kapinga

I am a diligent and adaptable professional with a strong background in client service, staff management, and operational logistics. Having developed a high level of situational awareness and professional composure in fast-paced hospitality environments, I am now seeking to apply my skills within a reception and security capacity. I am a clear communicator who remains calm and patient under pressure, with proven experience in conflict resolution and maintaining a secure, orderly environment.

My background includes managing teams of four, where I honed my ability to lead, mentor, and ensure standard operating procedures are strictly followed. I am highly disciplined, particularly when executing precise instructions, yet I thrive in team settings where I can contribute to a positive, welcoming atmosphere for clients and staff alike. With a strong commitment to service excellence and reliability, I am confident in my ability to manage front-of-house access control, handle administrative tasks with precision, and provide the professional vigilance required to ensure a safe and efficient workplace.
