The hospitality and customer service seed was planted early when I worked at a resort in Myrtle Beach, SC, during college summers. I loved meeting new people while checking them into the resort to start a wonderful vacation. I began my career in sales with Marriott in Raleigh, N.C., transferring to the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown in 2002, where I handled Association sales in the DC and Chicago markets, as well as the Professional Sports market countrywide. After transferring to Phoenix in 2005, I represented the JW Marriott Desert Ridge, JW Marriott Camelback Inn, JW Marriott Starr Pass and Marriott McDowell Suites.In 2007, I joined The Ritz-Carlton family for almost 6 years and represented the hotel company in both Phoenix and Dove Mountain. Next, I was the Director of Association Sales at the Five Diamond Fairmont Scottsdale Princess hotel for almost five years, where I handled the large association and SMERF market. I joined the Premier Event Resources (PER) team in the summer of 2016. At PER, I identify and develop relationships with new accounts, assist planners with buying power, hotel site selection, contract negotiations and more. I love spending time with my family, traveling, playing sports, being outside, riding bikes, attending sport events, and rooting for the Arizona Coyotes. I proudly served as the 2020 President of the PCMA Southwest & Pacific Chapter, and the 2021 and 2022 Past President.
Listed skills include Sales Management, Contract Negotiation, Site Inspections, Site Planning, and 7 others.
