PERSONAL PHOTO
My Former General Manager, Mark Mauer was and still is a huge inspiration for me because he always believed in me. He made a bet with a couple other GM’s that I would win the “Spirit of Embassy” Award. I had no idea that he put my name in the battle for it. We had an All-Associate meeting and thinking it was just another meeting with new announcements, but I was wrong, BIGTIME!! I was chosen as one the winners, which was the biggest honor I have ever received. He always made you feel like you were doing a great job!!! I still keep in touch with him and he is always talking about that amazing day!!! It is always nice to feel appreciated for all that you do!!
I am now an Enterprise Sales & Marking Manager for Atrium Hospitality Corporate and have been in this position since June 22, 2020.
Embassy Suites Hotel CharlestonWV was my home hotel fromApril 2, 2007 until March 20, 2020 when COVID-19 hit. I have worked at several hotels since I graduated college in 1998, such as Opryland Hotel andThe Renaissance Hotel (Marriott), both in Nashville,TN and Hilton Suites Hotel in Brentwood,TN. Moved back closer to home and worked at the Clarion Hotel in Roanoke,VA (which is now a Holiday Inn). Moved back toWV and worked at the Charleston Convention Center,WV State University and then I was FINALLY hired at the Embassy Suites Hotel!!
