How long have you been on Staff and/or involved with the USBG? I've been involved with USBG since December 2022, and it’s been incredible to contribute to an organization that supports and uplifts the hospitality industry.
Got any hobbies? Outside of my professional work, I’m passionate about exploring new cultures and experiences. I’ve traveled to places like England, Thailand, Portugal, Spain, and Scotland, and always seek new adventures. When I'm not working or traveling, you can find me enjoying movies, TV shows, and video games, always on the lookout for the next great story.
What's your favorite drink? Bacardi’s Breezer. It’s a light, refreshing rum-based fruit cocktail with tropical flavors. Not always easy to find, but when you do, it’s the perfect drink for a laid-back, easygoing vibe.
Tell us a story! Before I got into marketing and events, I spent a lot of time in a very different kind of competition—I played chess at a national level. The strategy, patience, and adaptability I learned from those tournaments still come in handy today. Whether it’s navigating an event or solving a complex marketing challenge, thinking a few moves ahead always helps.
