Summary

I am an accomplished member of the New York Hospitality industry, having over 8 years of experience. My career started as a Hostess for the The Group Company, showing my loyalty to the establishment where I worked my way up to being promoted to Maitre D. Taking a dive into exploring my abilities, I switched to serving which suits my personable character, and was able to be awarded Floor Captain and Manager. Now I’m relocated in Miami I am looking to grow within a company and once again prove my skills and ability.
