A creative workflow and active lifestyle keeps me poised to excel at the crossroads of a variety of industries. Respect and understanding for people as the most valuable asset in any organization is the foundation for my approach to success. "The secret to success is enthusiasm!" -Walter P. Chrysler I believe in putting people first. With the loyal support of clients and customers you can have success. With the respect of a passionate team you can achieve excellence. A natural leader and proven sales and hospitality professional, I was literally created by the automotive industry (my parents met at an auto assembly plant in Detroit). I’ve enjoyed a successful career in the vibrant food and beverage world of Chicago including two Michelin stars and education under some of the world’s greatest chefs and industry innovators. My love of cars and dedication to hospitality and customer service led me to success in the automotive industry including a thrilling time with Tesla Motors North America and Europe. From point of sale through coordination of logistics to team leadership and mastery of the customer experience I’ve consistently surpassed goals as an innovative, self-reliant and driven team motivator. Yoga is a fundamental element to the resilience and tenacity of my professional reputation. This practice has provided me with tremendous physical health and peace of mind regardless of the challenges at hand. Teaching yoga over the last two years has gifted me the experience of sharing this powerful tool of self improvement and its enriching health benefits with the beautiful people in my hometown of Detroit.
