Vu Thi Huong Giang

Born and bred in nearby Nha Trang, Giang graduated from Nha Trang University with a major in food processing and started her career in 2004 as a waitress at Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, where she steadily climbed the career ladder over a decade to become a food and beverage manager. She has also worked for Vinpearl Land and Mia Resort in Nha Trang, and was the food and beverage director at The Anam, also situated on Cam Ranh peninsula, for two years before joining Alma.

"Sixteen years ago I graduated from school to become a waitress and my parents were so unhappy they didn't tell my relatives but hospitality was what I wanted to do and I was hungry to learn; I hope my story encourages others to consider a career in hospitality because despite the difficulties wrought by the global pandemic the industry will inevitably recover," she said.
