Who Is Zene?

Zene came from Ethiopia to the United States in 1989, with a dream, determination, and strong work ethic.

She began her journey in the hotel industry, where hospitality was her natural talent and passion. She started working at Dunkin’ Donuts coffee shop, where she later became a manager. She then continued her career in a managerial position at Shoney’s Restaurant. Her dedication, hospitality, and work ethic enabled her to work in leadership roles as a manager and supervisor at Marriott Hotel.

With years of experience and determination, Zene expanded into real estate investment across Massachusetts, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.

Her journey eventually led her back to her passion for hospitality. Today, she is the owner of Zene’s Restaurant Market and Bar, which was founded in 2015, where her experience, entrepreneurial spirit, and love of bringing people together came to life.

From Ethiopia to the United States, from employee to entrepreneur, Zene’s story is one of courage, perseverance, and success.
