As a seasoned Global Hospitality Leader and Multi-Unit Operator, I bring extensive experience driving impactful results for startups and established brands worldwide. My career began in New York City at the renowned Rosa Mexicano Restaurants, where I was instrumental in their expansion, playing a key role in numerous new restaurant openings and providing operational leadership that was essential to the expansion on the East and West Coasts, notably at the flagship Union Square location in NYC.

I’ve always believed that a thriving work environment is the key to success. This philosophy guided me in building strong, inclusive work cultures and empowering countless employees and their development into leaders. In 2020, I brought this expertise to a strategic role at Royal Caribbean Group, where I spearheaded critical recruitment efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring a seamless return to service for their iconic brands.

Since relocating to Miami in 2008, I've continued to shape the hospitality landscape through the successful execution of diverse events. My portfolio ranges from intimate gatherings, weddings, community non-profit, charity-driven events and galas to large-scale activations like the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, Cinco de Mayo block parties, and major global sporting events such as the Miami Open and the F1 at Hard Rock Stadium.

My work is deeply rooted in commitment to giving back and championing for a greater cause—to the hospitality industry, the Miami Shores community, and beyond. I believe true success is measured by more than financial results; it is found in the development of individuals and the creation of lasting, memorable experiences that elevate others. By prioritizing service and mentorship, I strive to ensure that every connection leaves a positive, permanent mark on the people that define our communities.
