How many years have you been in the Meetings/Event business?I have been in the hospitality industry 10 years this September!
I have been in hotel Sales for almost 6 years (Aug 2012).
During that time, what would you say has been your best experience? I have had so many great experiences in this industry I truly consider myself blessed!
I am mainly humbled by the different people I have been to able meet. Some will be lifelong friends, mentors and business acquaintances. The service we provide to guests and each other has made me a better person. I appreciate the diversity and the constant change that exist in my world, never a dull moment!
Why did you first join MPI? My colleague Alexa now Director on the MPI Westfield board was my #1 cheerleader. I knew I would join but it would have been next year. Additionally, I understood the importance of being part of a network of individuals that are leaders in their fields. I strive to learn and grow in everything I do. This experience will enable me to educate myself through the different workshops and it will expose me to the “needle movers” I need to know. I also look forward to assisting my colleagues as much as possible.
Please tell us any interesting fact about you that you’d like us to knowI absolutely ENJOY planning events especially weddings. I find it interesting to create day of itineraries because when complete I can close my eyes and picture every moment. Weddings are fun and most importantly they are a celebration of love! I like being part of such a special day in a couple’s journey. I originally intended to help friends as a hobby but I ended pursuing my certification to become a Wedding Planner in 2013 with the Bridal Society because I wanted to do so much more of it.
I even started my own business that year
