About
New York native with a background that blends fashion, hospitality, and people-first service. Before transitioning into new career opportunities, I worked as a professional fashion model, where I developed adaptability, professionalism, and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Hospitality has always been part of who I am.
I was raised in a family deeply rooted in the industry, with ties to Island Creek Oysters and several well-known restaurants throughout the Boston area. Growing up around restaurants and high-end experiences taught me the value of genuine service, hard work, and creating memorable experiences for others are principles I carry into everything I do.
