Feb 2016 - Aug 2018
My journey in the hospitality industry began with a restaurant group on Capitol Hill, where I was responsible for booking and executing private events for seven venues within the company. From high-end political fundraising dinners to wedding celebrations and off-site catering, I managed a diverse array of events. This experience honed my attention to detail, and I developed an uncanny ability to spot even the slightest wine glass out of place.
