About

I have always had an eye for detail, a draw to service, and a propensity for hard work. Having worked in events and in food and beverage, it is in the hospitality industry that I find my talents best serve a need. I hope to apply my knowledge and skills to supporting the growth of an ambitious and creative business or organization. I am open to new learning experiences and the opportunity to create memorable experiences for others. In preparation to begin a professional career, I seek an events or operations internship that will be challenging, enlightening, and able to provide applicable industry experience.
