Earlier Years
A lifelong New Yorker, being part of a fast-paced metropolitan environment shaped an appreciation for urgency and efficiency. Living and working across Long Island, Queens, and Manhattan provided exposure to diverse cultures, with the incredible variety of cuisines being a personal highlight.
The professional journey began in country club and restaurant hospitality, golf caddying and serving tables. Eventually expanding into various industry roles, including management, food & beverage, operations, and customer service.
Along the way, skills in sales, marketing, graphic design, and branding were developed while working with AGWAY (True Value Company), and Everlast® sports nutrition brand, expanding my hospitality experience into different markets.
In 2013, during the day, on the investment and business side I acquired and sold food and beverage NNN real estate properties across the Northeast and Southeast regions, adding a financial perspective to an already diverse career. At night, I managed a historic building known for its dinner and event space, 'Chalet Restaurant & Lounge' in Roslyn, Long Island.
In 2017, an opportunity arose to work in the countryside of York, PA, as a Food and Beverage Manager. The change in environment was refreshing, offering a new perspective on hospitality.
Shortly after, a recruitment into a work-study program led to earning an MBA in Fort Lauderdale through Purdue University in the summer of 2018.
Present Times
Arriving in South Florida July 2018, I started working as a MBA Student Advisor at Purdue University Global while studying business management. I enrolled several students to the university, and was proud to have contributed over $1 million in nonprofit revenue during this time.
After earning my MBA in March 2020, the pandemic led to the loss of our positions, prompting a move to consulting, working with various businesses.
The past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some incredible employers and partners.
My long-term goal is to establish a lasting relationship and grow a career with a loyal organization, managing multiple projects and working with upper management.
