I have been lucky enough to work directly with Joana for the past 4 years, where I have dealt with her extraordinary professionalism and special dedication to others on a daily basis. Joana created all the Guest Experience procedures of the hotel, and in the last year she has been the fundamental piece in the growth, training and strengthening of the team and the activities carried out. In addition to her technical training, knowledge of trends and attention to detail, I have no doubt that what makes Joana so exceptional in her job is her kindness to others, her constant search for teamwork and consensus and her "never give up" attitude. Tive a sorte de trabalhar directamente com a Joana nos últimos 4 anos, onde lidei diariamente com o seu extraordinário profissionalismo e especial dedicação para com os outros. A Joana criou todos os procedimentos de Guest Experience do hotel, tendo no último ano sendo a peça fundamental no crescimento, treino e fortalecimento da equipa e das actividades realizadas. Para além do treino técnico, conhecimento de tendências e atenção ao detalhe, não tenho dúvida que o que torna a Joana tão acima da média na sua actividade é a sua bondade para com os outros, a continua procura de trabalhar em equipa e encontrar consensos, e a sua atitude de nunca desistir.
