Professional Bio
What drives me is exceptional guest service. Being a second generation hospitality professional โ this is not what I do, but simply who I am. With a demonstrated history of working in the hotel industry - domestic and international , I am skilled in creating memorable guest experiences, property operations, strategy development, stakeholder engagement, corporate travel, group business, destination resorts, select service brands, boutique hotels, extended stays, mid-size and convention hotels.
When I am not building partnerships or driving hotel performance, I am baking (cheesecakes are my specialty), training for some sort of distance race (marathons or Ironmans please!), hanging out with my husband in the greater South Bay area, or appreciating a nice glass of wine.
