What do you have to say about your team?

I could say something nice about everyone on the team, there is not one person I would trade. If I had to pick one I need to pick our leader Bill. Every time I see Bill with someone he has a genuine way of making that person feel truly special. He sets the tone for the company.

Do you have a pet?

We have a Black Lab named Olive, a Husky named River and a
Cockalier named Dixie.

Favorite city?

Kauai, HI – this is where my husband and I were married.

If you were to star in a TV show, which one?

It would be something on the Food Network, perhaps a judge on Chopped or Cupcake Wars, possibly a chef on Iron chef.

Why do you love working in the events industry?

I love helping clients find the perfect home for their events as well as going on site to see a program materialize. The energy and excitement from attendees who are experiencing a destination or event for the first time is exhilarating. The motivation I can see in people as they leave an incentive trip or business rally is extremely gratifying.
