About my experience: Working in the Hospitality industry since 2007, started as a front desk agent in high school at the Homewood Suites by Hilton, Downtown New Orleans. A couple of years after Hurricane Katrina hit the only in-house guests were the United Postal Service, Army Corps, Navy and FEMA. A few years later growing into and maintaining operational Hilton leadership roles, I really enjoyed the partnership side of the business. The ability to get creative during client special events and attain profitable business wins convinced me to pursue Sales and Marketing. Starting with my first independent property and a part of the Leading Hotels of the World, Le Pavillon Hotel, New Orleans.
A couple of years into sales management, I was offered an opportunity with Crescent Hotels to relocate to Sunny Isles Beach, FL and was assigned to the Newport Beachside Resort. After many successes over the years in the South Florida market covering all market segments and growing into Sales Director roles with Marriott & IHG, I am excited to bring my superlative experience to my new role as Regional Director of Sales with Dellisart.
How I would describe my management style:
Supportive team player, proactive, I lead by example, motivate, mentor and teach others when needed. I care about the client’s success and strongly believe communication is key!
Why do business with me?
I have a relentless drive to present a high standard of integrity, service and hospitality at all times. With the ability to adapt to any situation. I excel as a problem solver and connecting with key decision makers to quickly building profitable, lasting partnerships that sustain revenue growth. I am dedicated to creating solid and productive partnerships, along with my motivation to meet sales goals.
