Born and raised right here in Houston, Texas, Brianna Gonzales is a true hometown girl with a heart for hospitality. Brianna studied at Syracuse University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, during this time she worked as a Student Manager in the university dining hall. Though the pandemic forced her to finish her final semester remotely back in Houston, she stayed busy, working part-time at Federal American Grill as a Server.

After graduation, Brianna started working in finance. However, her heart led her back to her passion for hospitality, where she could be around people who love what they do; leading teams in accomplishing goals and bringing smiles to guests’ faces.

Also, a big fan of live music, Brianna is always up for travel to discover a great new adventure.
