This ability resulted in Jefferson Street Inn being noted for the currently achieving highest ADR and REVPAR of any Central Wisconsin hotel, including branded hotels according to Smith Travel Research. This record is exceptional in a good economy but faced with the worst economy in 80 years, to achieve success in tourism and travel-based business is remarkable.I have been characterized as an outstanding team leader, capable of tackling challenges and obstacles while developing a very loyal staff.I possess strong knowledge basis of overall hotel and hospitality industry operations, including front & back of the house operations management, staff development, and business plan development.
