Tell us a little bit about your career journey:

My hospitality career first started as a runner then soon an expo at The Hartford Golf Club and various other clubs around CT. From there I joined The North House in Avon, working my way as a busser, back-server, and then server in an upscale environment. After completing my undergrad at UConn School of Business, I became the Restaurant’s social media and marketing manager, creating all content using photography, video, and influencer collaborations.  

What does great service mean to you? 

Great service means making someone feel welcome the moment they walk in. It's the little things done consistently; anticipating guest needs before it's asked, maintaining the energy of the dining room, making sure every guest feels seen and taken care from start to finish. When everything flows and the guest leaves feeling genuinely happy, that's the standard I hold myself to everyday.
