Director of Sales & Catering
As Director of Sales and Catering at a premier luxury hotel on the Jersey Shore, I bring over a decade of experience in hospitality leadership, event planning, and client relations. At Wave Resort, I lead a high-performing team dedicated to curating bespoke experiences — from intimate beachfront weddings to large-scale corporate retreats — executed with precision and creativity. My strengths include strategic sales growth, contract negotiation, vendor partnerships, and flawless event execution. I thrive in fast-paced environments where innovation and attention to detail ensure unforgettable guest experiences. Beyond my role, I’m a proud mom of two young children, which has sharpened my ability to multitask, prioritize, and lead with empathy. I’m always open to connecting with industry peers, planners, and partners to collaborate on creating extraordinary experiences that inspire lasting impressions.
Founder & Chief Advisor
I work with leaders and companies that want to use AI but do not know where to start. That is my specialty. I give them direction, focus, and a path they can execute. My work centers on three areas that move the needle today: AI fluency, AI visibility, and AI scaling. I’ve spent decades inside hotels, ownership groups, and travel tech, building direct channel systems, fixing stalled commercial teams, and guiding executives through complex decisions. I know how to take an overwhelmed organization and show them exactly where to begin and where to emphasize.

General Manager
I founded SHYFT Recruiting & Consulting as a boutique, full-service recruitment agency that works closely with clients to find world-class talent for their organization. Each search executed serves as a foundation from which to build a lasting partnership. I have developed deep, long-lasting relationships over my career. I am able to uncover, source & deliver candidates more efficiently than my competitors. This advantage reduces the time our clients’ vacancies remain open.

VP of Revenue Strategy
Revenue growth is my thing. With 18+ years in hospitality revenue management, I help hotels, resorts, and attractions increase top-line revenue, improve profitability, and unlock new commercial opportunities—fast. I’ve delivered results across the board: from independent hotels to luxury resorts, waterparks, ski lodges, and multi-use entertainment properties. Whether it’s reworking a pricing strategy, optimizing distribution channels, or implementing new revenue systems (Opera PMS, SynXis, Cendyn, Windsurfer), I specialize in fixing stagnation with smart, tailored strategies that stick. My approach is hands-on, data-driven, and collaborative. I combine forecasting and market analysis with real-world operations to drive measurable results—and I’m just as comfortable in the boardroom as I am digging into the numbers.
