Erin Furness
Summary
With over 30 years as a self-employed podiatrist, I have built a career centered around exceptional customer care, blending professionalism with warmth and approachability. Proficient in MYOB and Xero, I quickly adapt to new systems and processes with confidence. As a healthcare professional, I maintain a current First Aid Certificate and continuously update my podiatry qualifications in compliance with the New Zealand Podiatry Licensing Board and Ministry of Health standards. My passion for hospitality stems from growing up in a family of hoteliers, where I spent 2-3 decades immersed in the operations of our family-owned hotels. This experience instilled in me a deep understanding of teamwork, proactive stock and time management, and the importance of creating welcoming, memorable guest experiences. I bring a strong sense of organization, reliability, and a genuine commitment to making people feel at home, qualities I am eager to apply in a hotel management role.
