About Evette Blue

I began my career in the Hospitality industry at the young age of 18. Leaving behind my initial goal of becoming a Nurse, I quickly realized that Nursing and Hospitality have one common focus.CARING FOR and SERVING OTHERS. Once I tasted the world of Food, Beverage, Hotels, and Resorts I was immediately hooked. I have served in many capacities over the years and came to realize that the corporate market is where I thrive. I enjoy the high-profile clientele, the unexpected challenges, and the fast-paced responsibilities.ON A PERSONAL NOTE:My personal passions are the art of Food, Beaches, Photography, Weekend Road Trips to unknown territories, riding my electric bike up and down the coast, and spending time with my golden retriever, Ava!
