Simon Sixmund Ndunguru
I am a diploma graduate with a strong hotel and customer service-oriented experience.
I have started from F&B department to Income Auditor in the hospitality industry. Due to Covid-19 pandemic and as a young and dynamic African who always see challenges as an opportunity, I become an entrepreneur where I offer my knowledge as a service to small enterprises and individuals.
