Hi! I'm Amy. I have a wide range of work experience, such as a professional tour guide in Kyoto, an ALT in elementary and junior high schools in Japan, an English-Thai translator for NHK core Kyoto program, a flight attendant for three international airlines, inbound, outbound and domestic tour guide during my university studies in Thailand. I believe I'm the best fit for this job because of the skills and expertise to deal with people and communication abilities. I also love service, meeting people and traveling to different places. I have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and I am able to engage effectively with a variety of people. I am confident I can respond quickly and efficiently to any queries or issues that may arise during a tour. In addition, I am a team player and am able to work effectively with other members of the team.
