What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in food & beverage operations where I can run multi-unit venues, improve processes, develop teams, and deliver strong guest and financial outcomes.

I am an accomplished food and beverage management professional with extensive experience leading multi-unit operations, banquets, catering and beverage programs. I have overseen venues generating multi-million dollar sales, directed hiring and development for teams of 150+, implemented operational systems, and consistently delivered strong guest satisfaction and financial results.

I combine hands-on floor leadership with budget and inventory control, menu and beverage development, and event orchestration. I hold certifications including ServSafe and Level I Sommelier, and I leverage technology (Micros, Aloha, Ctuit, ADP, Excel) to improve efficiency and reporting.
