Summary

I am a young professional who found a passion for hospitality that carried me through college and into my career as a bartender and eventual restaurant manger with Colony Grill. I am looking to continue my career in the restaurant industry on a more part-time basis as I simultaneously pursue a career in the personal training field. While I gained an incredible skill set in the leadership position I was in, I am looking forward to taking a step back from managing, while continuing to hone my craft as a hospitality industry professional.
