About my experience:
With close to 20 years of experience in the Hospitality Industry, both independent hotels and brands (IHG, Choice, Marriott and Hilton), I have never been more excited about the future of travel!
With a start in the cruise line industry in Alaska, to Mountain Resort’s in California and amazing hotels in the Midwest, I enjoy all types of travel and hotels. My roles have been many in the industry, from Kitchen Staff to Accounting Team with Princess Cruises I learned so many new things. Director of Guest Services for Mammoth Mountain Ski Area started my experience for over 13 years in the Ski & Resort industry of California between Mammoth Lakes and Lake Tahoe.
After a number of years in the mountains, I made the journey back to my home state of Michigan to work my way in to the Hotel Brand industry as General Manager for the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Grand Rapids Airport, in Grand Rapids Michigan. A passion for Revenue Management has always been a drive and the chance to work with multiple Brands has been amazing over the last three years. I am excited to bring my energy and knowledge to the Dellisart team!
How I would describe my management style:
I immerse myself in the hotel to learn all I can about the market, the hotel’s team and ownership so that I can provide the best personalized service to achieve the goals set forth. My drive to never settle for second best will keep me pushing my own goals and looking to exceed expectations.
Why do business with me? I bring to the table a vast background of experience in the Hospitality and Travel industry that I continue to look for new learning opportunities and chances for growth. My passion and excitement for revenue management and reaching goals pushes me to continue to grow and bring more knowledge to those around me. With my background in operations and different systems, it allows me to recommend changes and strategies to increase revenue and experience. My experience with IHG, Choice, Marriott, Hilton and Independent hotels can bring different views and ideas to all opportunities.
Personal:
I was born and raised in the heart of Michigan. After High School the desire to explore other parts of the world took me to Alaska and California for work and change, and I fell in love with the Hospitality Industry and the outdoor world at the same time. My husband and young son settled back to Michigan, where we love the outdoors and beautiful weather.
Food:
Food! I am one who loves all different cuisines from around the world. Growing up in the Midwest of the United States anything with cheese is on my yes list. Tacos are the other always yes food choice, the varieties of Taco’s make them never boring.
