If you've dined with us over the past few years, you have probably interacted with Amira Vanest in some form, whether while booking a reservation, planning the final details of a special occasion, or simply walking in and being greeted by her. Today, we're so excited to share that she has stepped into the role of Assistant Manager and Director of Guest Relations at Vida.
She first started working with us as a Host shortly after graduating from Herron High School and remained a part of the team part-time throughout her years at Purdue University. After graduating in an impressive three years, she rejoined the team full-time as Lead Host and, in no time, made a significant impact on every aspect of our operations through her natural leadership, proactive work ethic, attention to detail, and special ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
This promotion is the natural next step for her, and we can't wait to see the even greater impact she will make in her new role.
Cheers to you, Amira, and congratulations!
