I sought out this company specifically because I believe in the mission and values aligned with the company. I am an extremely motivated and passionate Hospitality Manager with 5+ years of experience in the industry. I believe that authenticity and genuine care should be at the base of all client and coworker relationships. I love leading by example and working side by side with my front-line employees, showcasing the brand standards and inspiring them to reach higher, work harder and get excited to come to work. Nothing satisfies me more than bringing order to chaotic situations, and I will leave no stone unturned to find the best solutions for customers and co-workers alike! Cultivating a cohesive workplace culture, maximizing performance, and breaking records are what motivates me the most. I show up to work every day with a positive outlook and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
