Summary

With over 12 years of industry experience, I bring a humble and motivated leadership style. As an assistant general manager at Duffys Sports Grill for 6+ years, I developed a deep connection to the company. Recently relocated to South Florida to explore new opportunities and expand knowledge in hospitality. Currently thriving as a bartender at Tap 42 Aventura for almost 3 years. Time off to have a baby has fueled my eagerness to get back out there and shine. Your company could be the perfect place for me to make that happen.
