Just a little bit about myself…I was born and raised in California by two loving parents. My family loved taking vacations every summer, we traveled cross-country many times and when I was older went to Europe a couple of times. My love for travel, food, and hospitality in general was formed from the many fun and interesting experience gleaned from my childhood. I am positive and upbeat. I like to laugh and have a good time. My children and my job are my passions. I believe you need to be passionate about the people and things you love most. I’m excited to continue learning and growing within all aspects of the Hospitality Industry as I write this Blog and share my passions, feelings, and what I learn from each experience in the process.
