Summary
Hospitality and sales professional with a background of property sales, client management with a focus on client and staff morale. After building a career in Brisbane, I independently relocated to London, where I progressed into restaurant management and developed a strong track record in guest experience, sales and team leadership. Returning to Brisbane in September 2026, I am looking to bring my commercial experience, relationship-building skills and passion for creating exceptional customer experiences to my next opportunity.
