Professional Experience

Created the position of Convention Housing & Special Services Manager for all conventions at the Hotel, ranging from 14-4000 persons.  Responsibilities included facilitating the clients’ needs regarding arrangements for VIPS and staff. I advised clients and hotel personnel regarding contractual obligations—providing information and advice regarding any other needs the groups may have, including off-site programs and special events.  My primary goal was to accomplish a successful relationship with the convention client that would result in the booking of future conventions and overall client satisfaction.
