Experience

1. Partner and Director of Strategic Partnerships

   Metrobar Dc

   May 2019 — Present · Washington, DC, US

   As a co-founder and strategic leader at metrobar, I helped launch and grow an sq. ft. venue celebrating DC’s local identity through arts, culture, and hospitality. I led the charge in securing over $1.5M in investments and grants and built out operational systems to support $2.1M+ in annual revenue. From staffing and training a diverse team of 25+ to navigating city regulations and logistics, I’ve played a hands-on role in adapting our strategy and operations to community needs and market trends.
