We’re the Hospitality Experts! We are passionate about customer service and the food and beverage industry.
I have grown up in the hospitality industry and love it! I have been serving guests for over 25 years, and have always loved to cook! From the early age of 8, I was eager to learn everything I could about food and restaurants. I am no stranger to hard work, starting as a dishwasher at the young age of 14, and balancing school and work as a teenager. Throughout the years, I fell in love with customer service-based businesses. Starting at The Keg Steakhouse & Bar in 1994, I worked hard and was promoted to management at age 20, and have not stopped developing, learning and growing as a leader since!
I am an outgoing, passionate and driven leader that aspires to help local businesses take their operations to the next level! I am a certified coach that will support your leaders and team to drive excellent customer service and operational excellence. I specialize in coaching, recruiting, hiring, training, and developing great team members and leaders at all levels. I have a proven track record of achieving growth and driving profitability by putting the customer first and the team member a very close second. We have helped over 20 businesses grow during the pandemic!
Having worked at Starbucks for over 10 years, the largest coffee chain in the world, I have learned and mastered how to create high-performance teams to elevate your business. I will leverage my extensive network to build your team and help you create a solid foundation for long-term growth. Together with my team, we partner with you to design, implement and improve your operations to drive more customer engagement and improved operational excellence to transform your business. I take a very hands-on approach and build the capacity and capability of your team for long-term success and profitability; shoulder to shoulder with you. I also LOVE coffee and tea!
