After graduating college in 2011 majoring in Photography I wasn’t sure what direction my life was going to take. One thing I did know, however, was that I needed a job. I never worked in a restaurant before, but I had experience as an assistant to a Fashion photographer for the previous three Summers and worked as an intern at a magazine. I booked appointments, worked directly with clients, and answered phones. I figured hostessing was my best option in the restaurant world. Off to Craigslist I went, sending my resume to any hostess position I saw. I was hired at a trendy Newbury Street restaurant, worked full time and eagerly learned about every aspect on how the restaurant operated. Soon after, I was promoted to Restaurant Manager, and soon after that, I was able to put my photography skills to the test. I would curate food/cocktail photoshoots and started running their Instagram. After some time, I moved on to a restaurant in the Seaport, continuing to manage the floor, taking photos and running their social media accounts. Because of these experiences, I’m incredibly excited to bring my unique perspective by combining my passions into my position as Marketing Director at Xenia Greek Hospitality.
I also have a pet Great White Shark named Tuna.
