Born a West Virginia girl and raised both within the mountains of WV and overseas in Guam and the Philippines, I developed a love for both people and travel. So, the hospitality industry was a natural fit! I began my hospitality career at The Greenbrier as a lifeguard then after graduating from college with a degree in Management, I joined the front lines of The Greenbrier's front desk. This is where I truly learned the meaning of teamwork and the art of multitasking, both characteristics needed to plan a great event. After a couple of years, I went back overseas and gained experience internationally by joining the Intercontinental Hotel in Manila, Philippines. Learning more about the other half of my heritage, I realized that I had party planning in my blood. Filipinos celebrate all aspects of life from birth to death, so growing up Filipino made me learn from an early age the art of the party.
After gaining an international perspective, I moved back stateside and landed in Roanoke, VA where I joined the Hotel Roanoke team. From there I decided to learn more about the food and beverage aspect of hospitality and worked through the ranks of Metro! a fine dining restaurant and bar in Roanoke. After earning my stripes in the F&B world, I became the Restaurant Manager of Metro! and performed in this role for 8 years.
Planning events became my passion which is what lead me back to the place where I started...The Greenbrier. I have always loved the history and classic nature of The Greenbrier and always knew I would always be a part of this family. Joining the Sporting Club team has been a perfect fit and I look forward to working with our members in planning events that create lifetime memories.
