Summary

I am Looking for a positive position and work environment to continue my career in hospitality. I have many years experience working abroad in Berlin, where I lived for 6 years, as well as in Australia. Starting behind the bar early in my career and eventually making my way to Venue Management has given me valuable experience, skills and understanding of many different aspects within the hospitality industry. I am looking to take the next step and branch out from front of house. I enjoy the opportunity to constantly grow and am hoping to advance my career in a new direction.
