Working at Highland Cove Retirement community was a tremendous opportunity! I loved working with the residents and their families and helping people to create a unique living situation that matched their current set of circumstances. I learned so much and made some long-lasting relationships. Although I loved this new adventure, my heart was yearning to return to hospitality. I left Highland Cove after just 7 months to become the Director of Sales for the Hyatt Place Salt Lake City/Cottonwood!
