Born in Lower Austria, I moved to Western Austria for the first time in 2001, coming to the Arlberg Hospiz Hotel, when I finished my college training at the HLF Krems.
“Once the Arlberg gets a hold of you, it never lets you go”, and that’s exactly what happened to me. I could no longer get winter in the Arlberg Hospiz Hotel out of my mind. So I worked my way through various positions in the hotel and learned the necessary “tools” to make our guests happy with the highest quality. And a love of wine.
“From snow to lake” was then how I spent my summer, with positions at the Hotel Schloss Fuschl and the Werzers Hotel Resort Pörtschach.
Working abroad was something I always wanted to do, which became a reality for me in autumn 2005. I couldn’t do without the mountains, so I went to Vail, Colorado. I completed an 18 month Management Development Programme at the Sonnenalp Resort of Vail, where I also worked in all the F&B departments of the establishment.
“I am from Austria” The distance was never a problem, there was always a connection with my home and the Arlberg. I was then appointed as head waiter in our Kaminhalle and Ski Club Arlberg Stube in winter 2007/2008.
Since June 2008, I have been the Banquet Manager, responsible for the organisation and implementation of events of all kinds.
I look forward to sharing many celebrations with you in the Hospiz Hotels and Restaurants.
My motto is, “A day without a smile is a wasted day.”
