A little bit about myself

I’m a mum to 2 beautiful little cherubs, Hunter, 4 and Skyler, 2 and have been working in the hospitality industry for 20 years now. I love food and wine and don’t mind a bit of boot camp (it ensures I can still indulge in food and wine!).

Experience in the hospitality/events industry

• Assistant operations manager The Victorian Wine precinct 3 years

• Food and beverage manager with Firmdale Hotels 2 years

• Food and beverage manager with Hilton Hotels for 5 years

• Food and beverage manager at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre 2 years

• Operations manager with Big Kitchen Events

• MEG for almost 12 months

What do I love the most about my job?

Making a person’s day… from a bride to a corporate executive, it is a privilege to make someone’s dreams come true on the day of their event.

I also love training and mentoring my team, seeing them learn and grow gives me great satisfaction.
