Summary

Colorado native and proud! With 17 years of experience, I have gained so much knowledge in hospitality and discovered a passion for the industry. I have built a solid foundation and extensive skill set throughout this time and am humbled by new experiences. Eager to learn, hard-working, and proud of the work ethic I’ve built. Great communicator and plays well with others. Some hobbies I enjoy are live music, cooking, going out to eat, and traveling. Detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy.
