About me

Over the past 14years, I’ve aspired to build my hospitality career on the simple principle of sincerity -- my key to creating value and delivering excellence at luxury properties around the globe.

My first taste of 5-star hospitality took root in my hometown of Florence, Italy, at The Savoy Hotel. I was introduced to Leading Quality Assurance (LQA) standards, which notably imprinted its way into my guest-centric service and management style.

My passion for the world of hospitality quickly took hold; inspired, this newfound thirst to advance my F&B knowledge took me to the mountains of Scotland’s Gleneagles Hotel and behind the bustling bar of The Balmoral Hotel. The Gleneagles experience planted the seed of organizational effectiveness and emphasized the importance of enforcing sound policy and procedure administration. Manage diversity meant traveling further -- the French West Indies! I added French to my foreign language portfolio and embraced the tropical culture of the Guanahani Hotel & Spa in Saint Barthelemy.

The culmination of knowledge and growth advanced my career into an Assistant Restaurant Manager at the Hotel Bagni di Pisa & Spa in Pisa, Italy. I quickly tapped into my own managerial style, centering on delivering luxury and creating unforgettable guest experiences. My drive for powerful and measurable results succeeded; I was promoted to Assistant F&B Manager in Siena, Italy’s Castello di Casole. My managerial skillset included healthy financial organization, operating systems, and reporting. After a couple years, I was ready to take my cultural journey further – the United States of America. As Assistant F&B Manager of the historic Hay-Adams Hotel in Washington, DC, I navigate the waters of a union property.

Consistency and creativity while enforcing policy/procedure, monitoring scheduling and labor control, is amplified. Ultimately, every work experience has transformed me into a value creator and ambassador for the brand I represent.
