Summary

I’m a self-motivated and hard working individual that focuses on developing my leadership skills along with my knowledge of the hospitality industry. I pride myself on inspiring others to achieve more for themselves by connecting with individuals and assisting in developing a strategy to reach those goals. I believe in servant leadership and succeeding as a community. Letting my team know how much I appreciate their hard work and dedication is a task I try to achieve daily whether it be verbally or through assisting them whenever I have a second of free time. Leaders must set the benchmark for work ethic and character so their team knows what is expected of them. Without strong leadership a team can’t reach their full potential.
