Summary

I look forward to being considered as a General Manager. I have over 20 years of experience in all areas of upscale hospitality services, sales, and customer service. I have been part of the wonderful team of Fogo for over 10 years and I have continuously learned the ropes of the restaurants industry. I strongly believe that my exceptional attention to details, organizational skills, communication, and leadership abilities can be valuable this company. I have been an Assistance Manager since May 2022. I have developed a stronger foundation with the management team to be able to direct a hard-working staff in all the areas, assisting customer service and supporting management across departments from front and back of the house.
