I have extensive professional and personal experience in marketing and hospitality. I have managed two restaurants (New York and Australia) and co-founded one restaurant in New York City. I have experience with project management, social media, performance tracking, event planning, customer engagement, and more. At my last restaurant, I led the management team’s effort to define and capture our target audience, which gave me insight into areas spanning interior design and menu testing to influencer marketing and fundraising. Above all, I am driven by my passion for bringing people together and creating memorable environments. Early in my career, as a data analyst, I developed experience analyzing KPIs and communicating progress to leadership. I am constantly seeking new challenges to overcome with my complementary left and right brain skill set.Six years ago, I was in a car accident that left me paralyzed and upended my life. I have spent much of the last several years focused on physical therapy, but I am eager to return to my passion for hospitality and restaurants. Whether it be navigating a life-changing injury or steering a restaurant through the pandemic, I meet every challenge with passionate determination and a positive attitude.
