About Me:

I've been in the hotel industry for about 8 years now. I work specifically with large events for State, Regional, National and International Associations. I absolutely love working with my groups because every event is unique and provides a challenge. It's fun to work with 'the big picture' and see the event develop successfully.

Anywhere near the ocean

Favorite group destination

Minneapolis, of course! My second favorite place is San Diego.

Flowers- Roses especially

Favorite hotel

Besides mine... I like the Palace in San Francisco. It's beautiful!

Activities/Interests

Outside of work, I play Volleyball every Monday night. I like to dine with friends at new restaurants around the Twin Cities. Outdoor patios are so relaxing in the summer! I also play a mean game of Texas Hold Em. The Holidays are a nice time of year. They're a good excuse to shop.
