Service with substance.
From bartending and waitressing to leading penguin tours and managing a bakery, I’ve worn nearly every hat in the hospitality industry. Whether behind the bar, in the kitchen, on the road, or guiding guests through unforgettable experiences, I bring adaptability, care, and a hands-on spirit to every role. Hospitality to me is about more than service — it’s about connection and consistency.
