LAKE MOHAWK POOL & SPA - CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT, PROJECT COORDINATION & HEAD CHEF / F&B OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
Coordinated creative direction for the reimagining of the historic private pool club, Lake Mohawk Pool. Coordinated onsite remodel and installation, including dedicated kid areas, adult-only areas, architectural remodel, building and planning of onsite Arcade and camp program, and design and installation of the onsite mini-golf course. The phased, multi-year refurbishment won multiple awards, including the Sussex County Beautification Award. Fun fact: I was Head Chef and F&B Operations Director for five years, overseeing a team of 15 with the task of feeding over 900 members on our daily lunch and dinner services, planning and executing special events, and working closely with F&B providers Coca-Cola, Rockland Bakery, Dingman's Dairy, and SYSCO.
HOTEL PONCE DE LEON CIVIL RIGHTS MARKER - MARKER COPY & PROJECT COORDINATION
Working in partnership with Flagler College, their Diversity & Inclusion office, and Black Student Union, we installed a Civil Rights marker commemorating a sit-in within the dining hall of the then-segregated Hotel Ponce De Leon just four years before the founding of Flagler College. I led a team to bring this marker to life by sorting through FBI and police records, illustrating concept art, writing the marker copy, and working with the manufacturer to turn proofs into physical marker. In conjunction, our team presented our vision and design to the College's President and board and secured the necessary funding to build and install the marker in 2022, 58 years to the day the sit-in took place.
