Owner, Red Carpet Concierge of Chicago
Greater Chicago Area
I have been in the hospitality industry since 1991 enjoying several departments-front desk, concierge, Sales & Marketing and MOD. Since then, I have combined my experiences to form my new business Red Carpet Concierge of Chicago.com.
Prior to that I enjoyed a 25 year business as owner of a disposal system. During this time I also owned and operated a day spa for 20 years and owned and operated a private social club.
My community involvement in that span of time included producing and directing several worldwide pageant preliminaries, teen social clubs and president of my church altar guild.
I connect business opportunities for growth and promotion. I am experiencing new avenues in the media and print business and look forward to watching this bloom.
