Summary

With a strong business foundation from my Bachelor’s degree and a current Master’s specialization in Food & Beverage Management, hospitality has always been in my DNA. I believe that while hospitality should naturally impress, its true purpose lies in connecting people and creating memorable experiences that last a lifetime. Passionate, detail-driven, and collaborative, I thrive in dynamic environments where I can combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution to deliver seamless, guest-focused experiences.
