What I'm looking for

Sales and business development professional with 25+ years of experience in hospitality, tourism, group sales, account management, and client relations. Skilled in building partnerships, managing accounts, responding to RFPs, negotiating contracts, and driving revenue. Seeking a stable remote role with a collaborative organization that values growth, teamwork, and work-life balance.

I've driven group revenue for Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel, Radisson Suites Hotel, Dream Vacation Builders, Pirate's Dinner Adventure, and Anaheim Park Hotel across Government, Association, Corporate, SMERF, Tour & Travel, and meeting markets. At Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel, I managed complex multi-day programs for the Judicial Council of California and partnered with Visit Anaheim and third-party planners including HelmsBriscoe, Maritz Global Events, HPN Global, and ConferenceDirect.

I've built long-term client and supplier partnerships through contract negotiation, competitive RFPs, site inspections, trade shows, and hands-on program execution. From prospecting through BEOs, group resumes, turnovers, and post-event recaps, I focus on converting qualified opportunities into profitable business and exceptional guest experiences.
