Nearly a decade tending bar across Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan taught me how to read a room fast, engage in bulk, and keep friction off the menu. I've since worked in hospitality operations, consulted on beverage projects, advised early-stage founders, and briefed an R&D team at The Coca-Cola Company with keen insights on the movements within an entirely new category.

I'm looking for a role where managing people, projects, and relationships is the actual job. I get really excited thinking about strategy and planning, project management, and people operations.

Oh, and I also make and bottle hot sauce, work on cocktail programs, write and host a quiz night human people laugh at, and properly fill in the New York Times crossword with a Pilot G2 .5mm pen (where available).
