## About

```text
At Kempinski Summerland Hotel & Resort Beirut, I directed cost control and pricing across 12 F&B outlets, reducing average food cost from 35% to 27% and beverage cost from 20% to 17%. I maintained those results through Lebanon’s financial crisis while managing pricing, cost reporting, and budget variances.

At Kempinski, I also managed hotel-wide purchasing and receiving, built a network of approximately 200 active suppliers, and maintained inventory and par-level controls across departments. In my current contract work with BeWell & Co. Financial Consulting, I handle bookkeeping, invoicing, bank reconciliations, and U.S. tax preparation.
