What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role in hospitality or production where I can manage events, print/media production, and guest experiences while growing in leadership and creative responsibilities.

I am a hospitality and production professional with experience coordinating print production and managing reservations and events for high-end restaurants, alongside background in music A&R and artist support. I excel at Adobe Acrobat and print creation, event planning, guest relations, and administrative support for high-net-worth clients.

My work includes managing print production for multiple restaurant locations, designing custom event menus and contracts, scouting musical talent, and providing personal assistant services that streamline schedules and logistics. I bring strong organization, time management, and creative skills to fast-paced hospitality and music-industry roles.
