Donna's love affair with hospitality began while backpacking overseas, when she realised that the moments she enjoyed most always centred around great food, great people and unforgettable experiences. That love of adventure and connection inspired a career that, more than 20 years later, she still absolutely loves.

Having worked across hospitality operations, venue openings, business growth and even owning her own café and restaurant, Donna understands the industry from every angle. She's experienced the excitement of opening new venues, the challenges of running a business and the satisfaction that comes from building high-performing teams and creating memorable guest experiences.
