What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead hospitality and event operations where I can improve guest experiences, manage large-scale events, and drive strong operational and financial results.

I'm currently supervising private suite and catering rentals at Aramark's Kauffman Stadium operations, ensuring Royals game-day orders meet guest specifications and supporting non-game-day events for 20 to 1,000 people.

Previously, I led operations at Chicken N Pickle, a three-acre restaurant and entertainment venue generating $9 million in annual revenue. I've managed labor, expenses, food and service quality, property events, and guest experiences, while planning events for up to 2,000 guests. My background also includes client communication, vendor coordination, proposals, invoices, scheduling, and event-team leadership at Above and Beyond Catering.
