We are rapidly approaching the end of the year! (I personally can't believe how quick this year went.) For me, this gets me reflecting on how far I've come and what I'm excited for on the horizon. How about you? If you had a magic wand, what would you accomplish in your career before the end of 2025? New title? New company? Promotion or a raise? What would you like to make happen? Share with us and let's see if this network can't make some magic happen for you!

1) Where are you from? I’m from Southern California. I work mostly in the OC and LA areas. I’ve spent most of my time in hospitality, from cooking in kitchens to dreaming up new restaurant and bar concepts. 2) What do you want the next step in your career to be? I’m working on launching my own hospitality group with restaurants, pop-ups, and bars. I’m here to learn, connect, and figure out how to take these ideas to the next level. 3) What do you bring to this community? I bring hands-on experience, creativity, and a real passion for hospitality. I love sharing ideas, problem-solving, and collaborating with people who are just as driven to create top-notch experiences.
