Kami Scerri

The Corinthia Palace Hotel and Spa’s group and events manager, Kami Scerri, recently won Best Food and Beverage Student and Best Sommelier Student at an Institute of Tourism event.

The ITS Diploma in Events Management graduate was singled out for her capabilities, diligence and dedication.

“I took the course very seriously and absorbed as much information as I could,” said Ms Scerri, who now works full-time at the Corinthia Palace Hotel and Spa in Attard.

“I believe that, if you want to get something right, then you have to be hands on, and to learn by doing. I know this kind of attitude will be absolutely vital in all aspects of my career.”

Ms Scerri said the ITS course gave her the skills to enter the industry and Corinthia has given her the opportunity to develop her abilities and put her knowledge into practice.

“I have worked my way up from waitressing, so I know all the challenges of the industry,” she said.

“But I absolutely love the fast-paced work environment, the opportunity for career advancement and the rush that comes from all the hard work paying off. It is incredibly rewarding to know that your guests and clients are satisfied with the service you have provided.

“I am thrilled to have received these awards and now look forward to everything that my career with Corinthia has to offer.”
