About Sharon
My roots stem from Chicago's vibrant Beverly area, I currently reside in Arlington Heights. I've built a career founded on my unwavering passion for hospitality. Graduating Summa Cum Laude from Kendall College with a degree in Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management, I've navigated roles in both front and back of the house, finding fulfillment in culinary creation and management alike. As the former Senior Director of Operations at Carnivale and a resort service trainer with Hostmark Hospitality, I've honed my leadership skills and commitment to excellence. Now, as part of the team at Ravinia Green, I am dedicated to delivering unparalleled service and culinary experiences, striving to exceed expectations and create lasting memories for our members and their guests.
