Professional Profile
I was Director of Services at the Historic Philadelphia Downtown Courtyard overseeing a housekeeping staff of 60 associates responsible for the cleanliness of 498 rooms as well as front and back of the house areas. As Front Office Manager I transitioned PBX to AT Your Service, an intuitive which handled all guests’ requests including Room Service ordering. In my role as General Manager of select service and extended stay hotels I worked closely with sales and revenue management to ensure we maximized our ADR while driving occupancy. My responsibilities also included hiring, training, payroll, creating and critiquing operating and CAPEX budgets. I consider myself as a hands on manager and understand the importance of ensuring my associates are respected and have the tools and knowledge to complete their daily tasks.
