I've forged a path for myself in the hospitality industry - from server, housekeeper, and front desk agent to managing $100M+ programs aimed at elevating guest experiences at over 7,000 hotels worldwide and becoming a published author in management research. I leverage this experience to bridge the gap between the franchisor and the franchisee - building programs that provide continuous returns for owners and corporate stakeholders.I'm known for leveraging strategic, high-level thinking alongside boots-on-the-ground experience and planning. I use data as a tool in my toolkit to help drive quick decision-making and advance the business forward. I've used these tools in my work with dozens of hotels and restaurants, world governments, the United Nations, and leading hospitality companies.Throughout my career, I've been consistently recognized for my strategic thinking, initiative, data analytics, and team mindset - most recently by receiving multiple promotions and awards at Choice Hotels International and by being recognized as one of Hotel Management's Thirty Under 30. As a friend, coach, and colleague, I'm known for always lending a helping hand, sharing information, and leveraging my Jeopardy! contestant experience to conquer bar trivia contests.
