Doha Marriott staff nurse Mary June Amora has been picked as the ‘Unsung Hero of the Year” by Hotelier Middle East.
One of the most popular awards of the night, this year’s award was sponsored by A. Ronai and presented by Ronai managing director Gavin Dodd.
Judges were most in awe of the resolve June showed through some very difficult, emotional and testing situations over the past year, supporting injured and grieving colleagues after a fatal bus crash involving the hotel’s staff.
Working long hours without being asked to by the hotel management, June ensured that every surviving associate was taken care of, making home visits to the less critically injured associates and even providing them medical care.
“Having to see my friends so physically affected, I was really struggling emotionally, but I had to stay strong in front of them to help them. Some of them are still healing from the accident and I’m trying to help them still as best I can,” said Mary.
