I love developing people and guiding them into successful, well rounded sales professionals. My first job at a hotel was Night Audit. I quickly realized that the lodging industry was what I wanted to do. Once I made the decision to make a career out of hotels, the doors began to open. I’ve pretty much held every position a hotel has to offer, from Operations to Sales. I’ve been fortunate to work for amazing companies like Marriott, Hilton, Starwood, and now DKN. Having a creative mind has proven a strength for me at DKN. DKN has given me the freedom to innovate and apply my ideas in what I do. My favorite thing about DKN is the Three Legged Stool philosophy. I have embraced it as it comes naturally and I truly believe in it. I feel that my team and I have been successful because of it, and because of it, we will find success.

Our Director of Sales and Director of Revenue Management meeting with our Homewood Suites Director of Sales to review numbers, discuss strategy and ensure our team has the support they need.
What do you get when you combine creativity, critical thinking, analytical skills, a sharp focus on increased revenues and a notorious passion for writing and grammar? You get me! I am the DKN Hotels marketing megaphone. Almost a decade into my foray into the world of hospitality marketing, I can honestly say that my enthusiasm for the industry is boundless. I found my way into hotels by way of teaching (really!) and worked in the Revenue & Marketing Department of an independent hotel chain for seven years prior to coming on board at DKN Hotels. It’s my job to work closely with Sales and Revenue Management and use all available resources to amplify our brand messages and ensure they reach the appropriate audiences. I’m responsible for guiding the hotels in our portfolio to financial success through timely and effective marketing strategies backed by measurable results. The joy I derive from this job every day is the opportunity to build strong and solid relationships with my fellow team members as we work our way toward our shared goals. This means Teamwork is easily my favorite DKN Hotels value as there is nothing sweeter than finishing a project alongside people you truly value and respect.
