Catherine Studstill Email & Phone Number

Gained a considerable amount of knowledge and experience of the DMO/CVB world and of the destination. As an event coordinator my duties include: working with all departments to help coordinate and assist with familiarization (FAM) tours, internal meetings, and special events; establishing and maintaining great relations with all industry partners and local vendors, venues, attractions, etc.; overseeing the event registration process from beginning to end; and executing other day-to-day assignments.This position has helped sharpen my hard and soft skills in more ways than one. I have gained extensive knowledge of the CRM database and learned how to operate multiple event management and registration platforms (Cvent, Eventleaf, Planning Pod, AllSeated, Wrike). Additionally, I have increased my interpersonal and organizational skills, collaboration efforts, and learned to have a fearless confidence in my work.

Served as an interim Catering Sales Coordinator at the Omni San Francisco property for 2 months. During this time, I familiarized myself with the event management platform - Delphi.fdc, and helped the Sales department with: running daily reports, BEO batch merging and distribution, creating amenities in GoConcierge and crafting materials for upcoming events, forwarding all leads to the appropriate Sales Manager, and performing all other administrative tasks.As a coordinator who assisted four different Sales Managers on a regular basis, multitasking and time management skills are a must. This position has helped me to better deal with the stress that may result from balancing daily and spur of the moment tasks, and thus learning how to prioritize and meet these demands in order of importance.

With this being my first role in a hotel environment, I have gained a substantial amount of knowledge of the day-to-day operations involved in a fully functioning 859 room resort. Most importantly, I have also grown immensely as a hospitality professional and have become more confident in independently resolving tough situations with guests by using the “LATE” acronym and to just say “YES”.The responsibilities and skills I possess as a front desk agent at Omni Orlando Resort are multifaceted. One must possess full knowledge of the computer systems such as: Opera, Synergy, GoConcierge, and TrackIt. Since you are also the face of the property and Omni itself, it is essential to have excellent communication skills (both written and verbal), demonstrate yourself in a professional manner, and be willing to take initiative regardless of the situation.
