To whom it may concern, I am pleased to provide this reference for Sara, who worked as a Guest Ambassador at The View from The Shard, where I had the privilege of managing her for several years. During her time with us, Sara consistently demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and a strong commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience. She has a natural ability to engage with visitors from a wide range of backgrounds, always ensuring they felt welcomed, informed, and valued. Sara was a dependable and proactive member of the team. She handled busy periods with calm efficiency, maintained high standards of presentation and communication, and was always willing to support her colleagues. Her positive attitude and approachable manner made her a well-liked and respected team member. I would not hesitate to recommend Sara for any role. Jade E
