With over 26 years of experience in the food service and hospitality industry, I am passionate about creating memorable dining and lodging experiences for my guests. I have a certificate in entrepreneurship from Stanford University Graduate School of Business, and I constantly seek to innovate and improve my business. My field of expertise is California cuisine, which I infuse with global flavors and local ingredients. I am the owner of River's End Restaurant & Inn, a charming and cozy establishment located where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean in Jenner-by-the-Sea, California. I value sustainability, diversity, and community, and I strive to reflect these principles in my work and in my team.As the owner of River's End Restaurant & Inn, I oversee all aspects of the operation, from menu development and food preparation to staff management and customer service. I have a certificate in Moroccan cuisine from Lotus Chef Marrakesh, and I enjoy incorporating exotic spices and dishes into my menu. I also have a certificate in California wine specialist from San Francisco Wine School, and I pair my food with local wines from Sonoma and Napa counties. I have renovated and upgraded the cabins on the property, which were originally built in 1927, to offer comfortable and quaint accommodations for my guests. I have also enhanced the outdoor spaces and gardens, creating a serene and scenic setting for relaxation and enjoyment. I have multiple skills in food service, hospitality, and parties, and I cater to various occasions and events, from weddings and anniversaries to corporate retreats and family reunions.
