She makes it her business to know her market and what drives the business as well as what her hotel can offer in that mix. She is creative in the face of limited funds and can make the most out of a limited budget. She has always been willing to travel to other places to help train new Sales Managers and has provided ongoing support to those who needed it. I highly reoommend her to anyone wanting an energetic, self motivated sales professional. You would be fortunate to have her on your team."
