Additional Information

My career began first by working the front desk of a busy hotel, and by the chance of making a reservation for who came to be my Property Management Trainer, it was a reservation that launched my career into the property management world.

I was fortunate to spend many years working in the field of the Property Management industry. My passion for customer service was put to the test daily. There is no closer level of service than actually working daily where your customers stay and live. 

To me, having these important years of a service oriented foundation fueled my ability to train and support my internal customers in my corporate career. I truly walked a mile in the shoes of my associates and was humble and grateful to have done so.
