SKILLS
Having worked in New York City's demanding hospitality industry for more than 15 years, I've been tasked with leading top-tier bars and restaurants. Over the course of my career, I have developed a deep understanding of what makes a space work - from creating unique custom cocktail menus to managing inventory to training and managing diverse teams. By launching six establishments and revitalizing another, I have seen firsthand how customer service and attention to detail are key factors in a successful business. Combining operational expertise with exceptional customer service makes me an excellent candidate for food and beverage positions.
