Food and Beverage Director at LINCHRIS HOSPITALITY who grew beverage sales by $20k+ year over year.

At LINCHRIS HOSPITALITY, I grew beverage sales year over year by $20k+ and wrote a Hilton-branded training program from scratch. I also worked across restaurant and banquet departments and helped rebuild community connections through online marketing.

At CRAFT FOOD HALLS, I oversee operations across 16 locations, creating training and development programming, driving revenue, and supporting HR compliance. At YOTEL - BOSTON, I led a team of 50 across two outlets and developed a beverage program using fresh ingredients.

I began my management career on the opening team at Encore Boston Harbor, moving from bartending at Sinatra’s into restaurant management and then property-wide beverage management. I also founded and operated HOME SPA ESSENTIALS, LLC, an Amazon-based store, and worked as a medical recruiter at BARTON ASSOCIATES.
