Lorjana D.

As a finance manager with a decade of experience in the hospitality industry, I have cultivated a robust expertise in financial management and strategic planning. My career journey reflects a deep understanding of the unique financial dynamics that govern the hospitality sector, where managing budgets, forecasting revenues, and optimizing costs are essential for maintaining profitability and competitiveness. In my role as a finance manager, I have overseen various financial operations, including budgeting, financial reporting, and cash flow management. My analytical skills enable me to interpret complex financial data, providing insights that drive sound decision-making and enhance operational efficiency. I am adept at using advanced financial software and tools, which aids in streamlining processes and improving accuracy in financial reporting. My experience in hospitality has equipped me with a keen eye for detail and a proactive approach to risk management. I understand the seasonal fluctuations and market trends that impact revenue streams, allowing me to devise strategies that maximize profitability during peak periods while minimizing losses during off-seasons. My ability to collaborate with other departments, such as operations and marketing, ensures that financial strategies are aligned with overall business objectives. In addition to my managerial role, I am also a finance scientific researcher focused on youth employment in tourism. This dual focus not only highlights my commitment to financial excellence but also my dedication to social impact. My research involves analyzing the economic factors influencing youth employment in the tourism sector, identifying barriers to entry, and proposing actionable solutions to enhance job opportunities for young people. My work in this area reflects a broader understanding of the socio-economic implications of finance in tourism. I am involved in developing frameworks that support sustainable tourism practices while promoting youth engagement and employment. By exploring innovative strategies, such as entrepreneurship and skills training programs, I contribute to a more inclusive and resilient tourism industry. My ability to bridge finance management and social research demonstrates my versatility and commitment to both economic growth and community development. I likely present my findings at conferences or through publications, sharing insights that can influence policy-making and industry practices. As I continue to grow in my career, my unique combination of skills in financial management and research positions me as a thought leader in the field. I am focused not only on achieving financial success for my organization but also on fostering a sustainable environment that benefits future generations in the tourism and hospitality sectors.
