Having worked in the hospitality industry for many years both in Australia and abroad, I am absolutely committed to championing this industry as one of the most satisfying and rewarding career paths in the world. Hospitality is vibrant, energizing, ever-changing and filled with warmth and gratitude. Sure, it's not always a walk in the park: long hours, demanding guests, tough targets and wide goal posts but we get to create memories and develop teams and friendships that can last a life time.

I've been studying Hospitality Leadership for over 20 years and my driving force is to make the career path for hospitality workers fulfilling, sustainable and as easy as it can possibly be.
