I started my career somewhat by chance when a general manager approached me at a job fair in New Mexico and offered me a Catering Sales Manager position about two weeks later. That was around 2005, and the rest is kind of history. I worked in Santa Fe for several years as a Sales Manager and Director of Sales before getting an interview on a whim for a property in Napa, California in 2013. They flew me out, I had no idea where I stood, but they called and said they loved me and I had to be there in three weeks. I spent two years on the Napa side, then met people in the wine industry, primarily on the Sonoma County side, which was more my vibe - more casual, farmers and ranchers, as opposed to the more upscale Napa scene. A famous winemaker I met through a then-boyfriend took us out for dinner and made me a business proposition, which propelled me into wine for about six years at two very prominent wineries. I loved it and had a lot of creativity, which is really big for me. When I saw the writing on the wall at my last winery, I noticed a brand new Montage hotel being built that I drove by every day, and I thought if I was going to get back into hotels, that was the perfect time. After that property sold, Hyatt had me on task force at different properties, including one in Deer Valley, and they said they loved me and wanted to hire me full-time, but I had to physically live there. Since I don't have kids, I can up and move, so I relocated to Park City about a year and a half ago. My work focuses on relationship building and business development, handling contract closing, prospecting, client entertainment, and representing the East Coast Territory, which means traveling every other month.
