As the new Director of Leisure Sales for Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach and Pacific Edge Hotel in Laguna Beach CA at Joie de Vivre Hospitality in San Francisco - CA, United States. My aim is to develop and maintain key customer relations both domestically as well as internationally. Prior to setting my sights on Southern California, I served as Senior Sales Manager for The Ritz-Carlton San Francisco managing wholesale, leisure and consortia markets (Virtuoso, FHR/American Express, Signature and STARS agency members). With an extensive sales background that spans the globe, some key positions ranged from Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa, Sutton Place Hotel Newport Beach, Half Moon Jamaica, Round Hill Jamaica, Jamaica Inn, Jamaica Tourist Board, Barbardos Tourism Authority, Jumby Bay Antigua, L'Ermitage Hotels and Virgin Atlantic Airways. An active member in the wholesale and travel industry community, having held a variety of leadership and membership roles with OC PROST and LA PROST, OC ASTA, Greater Los Angeles CTO Chapter and NBTA. Other than travel, my true passion is cooking on my Weber grill (aka: Stella). “The only thing she can’t do is make a chocolate soufflé”. My dream is to someday launch my award winning Jerk sauce in local supermarkets.
