She has worked for Hilton International and Queens Moat Houses as a Food and Beverage Director, Bass Charrington Breweries and West Midland Taverns as a General Manager. Studying in Switzerland with Don Smith and the pioneering menu-engineering program for a summer developed into a five-year assignment, where she was involved in educating students in hotel management. As a visiting professor to Johnson & Wales University in Providence R.I., she realized this was where she wanted to settle and raise her family.

Malik worked as a general manager running two hotels in New England and then returned to Johnson & Wales University where she has worked for twenty two years as a wine and spirit educator. She received Teacher of the Year at Johnson & Wales University in 2004.

Malik is a WSET (Wine Spirit Education Trust) Diploma (Merit) recipient and a member of the Society of Wine Educators where she has Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW), Certified Specialist of Spirits (CSS) and the Certified Wine Educator (CWE) awards. She has also earned a Diploma from the International Sommelier Guild and has been part of the Banfi Wine Education Program and the Napa Valley Wine Academy.
