Independent Restaurant Professional

• Mar 2018 - Dec 2020

Having worked in small, independent, casual restaurants over the past years, I’m looking at what I can offer similar restaurateurs and operators on either a long or short-term basis. I have a keen interest in amazing food, fab drinks and over all good vibes and have the knowledge and passion to make a brand work. My expertise lies within project management, event management, new openings as well as restaurant operations and I’m always on the lookout for the next new thing, and how I can help change and evolve the current dining scene one bite at a time. Feel we should work together? Get in touch!!
