Professional Bio

I partner with travelers to create a seamless travel experience. This all starts with a conversation. Along the way, we will uncover their distinct hotel needs and personal travel preferences, to match the ideal hotel product. And if we donโ€™t, well then well keep the conversation going, because I want their next stay feel like home and event to be a success.

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.
