Summary

Dedicated HR Professional and Restaurant Manager

Dynamic HR professional and restaurant manager with extensive experience. I hold the necessary documentation to work legally on Bermuda and have successfully transitioned from the restaurant industry to HR. With a strong educational background in management and a proven track record in both fields, I have experience in launching a restaurant from the ground up, where I was responsible for not only recruitment and training but also for creating establishing corporate culture, and overseeing all phases of renovation during the restaurant's opening. I excel at fostering team collaboration, enhancing customer service, and achieving business objectives. I am now seeking to leverage my skills and experience in a challenging HR or management role, contributing to organizational success and employee development.
