Brantino Salanio
Providenciales,Turks And Caicos
Summary
I was born in Turks and Caicos island where I attended primary school and secondary school after my graduation I entered the work force, not knowing what to expect. I started my career by doing odd jobs such as security, construction and other things here and there. I became aware of my passion for tourism when I started a summer internship at a local bed and breakfast where I got to meet new people and have interesting conversations about where they are from how they are enjoying the islands I find myself making recommendations of local restaurants and other activities and excursions to enhance there vacation. During my time at the Clement Howell High School i was engaged in various groups such as the tourism club, musical arts club, sports club environmental club witch allowed me to do activities ranging from community service, cleaning of the school, volunteering, etc... Since graduated I have seized every opportunity to further my career in the tourism industry as I am open minded always looking for opportunities to learn and grow.
