I started at Alinea as a host and worked my way up to lead host.

I managed the Alinea host stand solo for three months, trained new teams and managed for two years before entering my role as Maitr D. I provided reports, critic scans, seating and event charts, design, menus, orders, guides and filled special guest requests and handled restaurant mail and retail behind the scenes for the front of house, the kitchen, and guest experience. Worked long hours and weekends on site to ensure three Michelin star service standards and went above and beyond to meet guest needs with detail, and artistry. Working for Chef Achatz has granted me the opportunity to work with world renown hospitality professionals, bring a progression pop up menu to life in Brooklyn NY for one month, design centerpieces for chefs vision and execute creative projects,

I worked my way up from a store demonstrator to a ceramic studio apprentice, designed a collection for production in the college catalogue, produced, harvested and recycled clay, and taught a college course.
