Hospitality has always been more than a career for me – it’s where I found my passion for creating meaningful experiences and building genuine connections.

​

At 23, I co-founded Crave Kitchen & Cocktails, where I now serve as Beverage Director. Since opening, I’ve had the opportunity to build an award-winning beverage program, develop innovative cocktail menus, lead staff education, and help shape a restaurant culture centered on creativity, excellence, and genuine hospitality. These early experiences taught me that exceptional hospitality isn’t just about great food or a well-crafted cocktail; it’s about making people feel seen, welcomed, and remembered.

​

My career has taken me far beyond the bar. I’ve been honored as the 2025 Bar & Restaurant Expo Industry Excellence Bartender of the Year, recognized as one of Bar & Restaurant News’ Top Shelf: Next Generation of Hospitality Excellence – 30 Under 30, and named a 2026 Global Connections for Women (GC4W) Woman to Watch. I’m also a two-time Stateline Shakeoff Champion and have had the privilege of speaking at national and regional hospitality conferences, sharing my experiences with industry professionals from across the country.

​

My desire to take care of people and create meaningful experiences is what drives everything I do. I believe the smallest details can leave the biggest impression, and I'm passionate about creating moments that make people feel welcomed, celebrated, and genuinely cared for.
