I have a great love for the hospitality industry. I always find ways to plan dinner parties or friend and family vacations. I mostly love event management. Working with event staff has always given me pleasure and problem solving is always fun. Part of my experience is the following:I have worked with industry professionals during the South Beach Wine & Food festival. I was the liaison between the event planners and students. I was also responsible for interviewing and assigning students to various positions by finding out their interests and assigning them to positions that would give them the greatest learning experience. On the day of the events, I would manage the students, for which event I was assigned.During this time I also worked in hotels and catering companies as a banquet server which continued to help me in refining my customer service skills.Following graduation from my Masters Hospitality Program at FIU, I decided to take my talents to Glacier park, Montana. There, I was a Dining Room Assistant Manager. I learned the background workings of a restaurant from my manager, which included scheduling, how to communicate properly with staff and how to interact gracefully with customers. My professional goal is to one day become an event manager for a catering company or a hotel.Specialties: event management and menu costing.
