I have 10+ years of hands-on experience in hospitality and property management, working across both short-term rentals and hotel revenue management. On the short-term rental side, I have managed multiple Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking listings across different locations — handling everything from listing creation and optimization, guest communication, booking conversion, special requests, and operational manuals for property owners. On the hotel revenue side, I have worked as a Revenue Analyst managing room inventory and pricing across major OTA platforms including Booking, Expedia, and B2B channels such as Hotelbeds — focusing on maximizing occupancy, optimizing rates, and driving revenue performance. I'm fluent in English, Russian, and Azerbaijani, making me a strong communicator with international clients and guests across different time zones. Whether you need someone to manage your Airbnb remotely, optimize your OTA presence, or handle day-to-day guest operations — I bring real industry experience, not just basic virtual assistant skills.

Some professionals are specialists. I'm something rarer — a convergence of three worlds built over 15 years across four countries. The corporate world · Art · The study of the human being Three worlds. One professional. Endless combinations for your project. A career forged in the corporate world — airlines, hospitality and tourism across Argentina, Mexico, Brazil and the United States — gave me discipline, efficiency, business acumen and a deep understanding of client relationships at an international level. In parallel, I devoted myself to art in its many forms — photography, music, design, video and digital creation. Today I work with AI tools and the latest technology to bring creative ideas to life, from visual content and social media to websites and digital experiences. And through it all, I studied the human being — its patterns, its potential, its transformation. That path led me to certify as an Ontological Life & Executive Coach. 🌍 Trilingual — Spanish · Portuguese · English 📍 Northeastern Brazil | Available worldwide

How to Hire Top Hospitality Specialists

How to hire hospitality specialists

Restaurants, tourism, recreation—the hospitality industry reaches across many different fields and skillsets. From content creation to project management, hospitality professionals can help you bring your project to life. 

So how do you hire hospitality specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top hospitality specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist hospitality professionals

As you’re browsing available hospitality consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles using criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. There are numerous subindustries that fall under hospitality such as restaurants, hotels, and casinos.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., managing an AdWords campaign for a hotel chain).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular hospitality contractor.

How to write an effective hospitality job post

With a clear picture of your ideal hospitality specialist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective hospitality job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From content creation to project management, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or collaboration tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
