The Starting Line: My Initial Professional Chapter
Sule Shangri-La, Yangon, Myanmar
Commencing my journey as a part-time bell desk trainee at the illustrious 484-room Shangri-La property in downtown Yangon in 2010 marked the inception of an enriching opportunity for accelerated growth. As I progressed to become a full-time Receptionist and eventually the only Room Controller, I gained valuable experience and skills that helped me more confident in my abilities.
