How did you get your start in the industry?
I fell in love with hotels on a trip to Hawaii with my family when I was 14. I was in awe of the Resort and told my parents I wanted to “own a hotel one day”. Ever since that trip, I knew the hospitality industry was the direction I wanted to go. I decided to go to the University of Las Vegas, Nevada and study Meeting and Event Management for my undergraduate and began my career working as a Sales Coordinator at the then Las Vegas Hilton.
