Summary

I am an outgoing, energetic, people person who has 15+ years experience in the hospitality industry and 3+ years in the live events industry. I have most likely stepped into every position in the food service industry, both front and back of house. I am reliable and great in fast paced, high stress situations. Live events required pre event work, quick and consistent thinking on your feet, and post event work to make the next event better.
