I've spent a significant amount of time as a coffee connoisseur, and I'm passionate about the scientific art of coffee. I know what makes a great guest experience and I'm constantly looking through the lens of a guest... What will they see, feel, smell, hear, taste, and how will these sensory elements define their experience?
I've invested countless hours into connecting with individuals and teams, helping them improve workflow, build confidence in and out of the cafe, and develop soft skills necessary for world class hospitality. I have a diligent approach to team education and leave no piece of information unturned.
I'm well-versed in business and have been a part of companies ranging in size including a marketing startup, a multi-billion dollar electronics corporation, and a real estate firm with a 100+ year longevity. I've seen what 'works' and what does not work and I'm an advocate for a positive employee experience.
