Director of Sales at Mesa Convention and Visitors Bureau
Phoenix, Arizona Area
My passion for the hospitality field is proven with 16+ years in the industry. I began in housekeeping when I was 14. Since then I have worked in some great properties in many different positions from maintenance up to area manager of two properties. Currently as the DOS of the MCVB I'm excited to be promoting tourism in the city that I consider home. Mesa is a unique city that offers convenience and affordability. Our entire staff at the MCVB is committed to developing healthy tourism in Mesa by building lasting partnerships and relationships. Please contact me if there is any way we can assist.
