Summary

Inspired by my grandfather, Taher Zamakhshari, a great poet, I studied the Arabic language at university and spent ten years teaching due to limited opportunities in hospitality in my home country. Seeking personal growth, I pursued a master’s degree in special education in the USA. During this time, I discovered new opportunities in the hospitality industry in Saudi Arabia and decided to follow my passion, encouraged by my brother, Rida Nooh’s success in the field.

Currently, I am the Guest Relations Assistant Manager at the Ritz-Carlton, where I have the privilege of interacting with a diverse range of individuals, from presidents to highly influential figures. Over the past five years, I have advanced in my career, dedicating myself to ensuring exceptional guest experiences. Offering strong communication skills and positive attitude.
