PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Amanda Sprenger, Director of Food & Beverage at The Country Club at Mirasol, has been awarded the Sally Rambo Burns Scholarship from The Club Foundation.
Amanda began at Mirasol in 2016 as a member of the Club's Manager in Development program, which offers recent college graduates the opportunity to learn the hospitality business in a nurturing and constructive environment. She was promoted to Restaurant Manager in 2017 and became the Club's Director of Food & Beverage in November.
Amanda was born and raised in Perry, New York and attended Niagara University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management with a focus in Private Club Management.
