## About

```text
I am a creative and detail-oriented professional with over 10 years of experience in luxury hospitality. My journey has led me to focus on high-impact visual storytelling and brand strategy, where I blend my design expertise with a service-driven mindset. I hold a Bachelor of Design in Architecture from the University of Central Florida, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in creativity and technical competence.

Currently, I serve as the Assistant to the Director of Operations at Think Hospitality, where I provide high-level administrative and operational support. My role involves designing branded assets to enhance guest experiences and developing comprehensive training manuals to ensure consistency in service. I thrive in dynamic environments, collaborating with leadership to identify operational inefficiencies and implement effective solutions.

Previously, I managed VIP relations at Riviera Dining Group, where I focused on providing personalized attention to guests, building loyalty, and optimizing sales. My experience as a Maitre D’ at Major Food Group further honed my ability to oversee restaurant operations and ensure exceptional service. I am now seeking a Creative Director or Graphic Designer role that allows me to merge creativity, strategy, and client experience.
