Alex Kim
SHA’16 General Manager, Eventide Fenway LLC
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Current Location: Boston, MA
Why did you choose SHA?
I love food and people; restaurants are the perfect intersection of those things and even though I got into BU as a nutrition major, studying food and beverage was much more interesting than chemistry!
What was your first full-time job? How did you end up in your current position?
Food & Beverage Management Training Program with Hyatt in Boston. I worked my way through a couple concepts and here I am!
Please describe your current role. How did your SHA education impact your career?
General Manager, Eventide Fenway. I manage all Front of House related things at the restaurant. SHA gave me the opportunity to get experiences while I was still in school that were invaluable to me when I graduated and worked through different businesses.
Any advice for current and prospective students?
