Texas has been my Home-Sweet-Home since 2007 when I was welcomed as a student at the University of Houston from Burkina Faso . I since fell in love with the City of Houston. Those who met for the first time will describe me as charismatic, hospitable, hardworking and trustworthy. My friends will add that Carine loves her Christian Catholic Faith and love simple moments of sharing a good coffee. My family will say of me that I am dependable, a book worm and loving.





After completing my ESL classes at UH on my arrival, I pursued an education in Hospitality Management through which I was blessed with a multi level experience type of service and geared me to be successful working with people. I proudly served the Hilton Hotel at UH, Holly Hall Retirement Community Dining Services. Taking on the team management of 30+employees at Granduca Hotel for 4 years and later the Brazos Presbyterians Homes 5 years, I felt confident to take on a journey of being a business owner.


With my husband's support, I opened and ran Dining Staff,LLC to serve the staffing needs of the hospitality business operations. I served proudly the Houston Country Club, The River Oaks Country Club, the Hallmark, BPHI,The Bell Tower, and local caterers. I grew resilience and appreciation in team work more than ever.
