Was given the opportunity to step into the role of General Manager for a beautifully renovated 156-room Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, owned and operated by PR Hotels Group. Through the COVID pandemic, fires, floods, heat domes - those four years were challenging, but through it all the team grew together, supported one another, and we enjoyed some incredible successes along the way.

Had the opportunity to come home from my travels and return to the Braemar Group at their award winning property, the Best Western Plus in beautiful West Kelowna. Through my two years, I learned about the Best Western brand and the differences between it and other chains and independents I've been a part of in the past. Excelled at revenue management, learned how to be a better leader, and had a fantastic team that made each and every day exciting. Enjoyed the sense of community that is alive… Show more Had the opportunity to come home from my travels and return to the Braemar Group at their award winning property, the Best Western Plus in beautiful West Kelowna.

Excelled at revenue management, learned how to be a better leader, and had a fantastic team that made each and every day exciting. Enjoyed the sense of community that is alive and well in Westbank, and got to truly appreciate the local viticulturists and the art of producing a great bottle of wine. Came in during a personnel shuffle, and proceeded to have two consecutive years of record successes. Show less
