This passion drove me to Johnson &Wales University where I graduated <br /> with a Bachelors€TMs Degree in Hotel Management. While in college and in my professional <br /> career I have been involved with Visitors Bureaus across North Carolina and South Carolina <br /> including Charleston, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Pinehurst/Moore County and Orange County. <br /> Each of these bureaus was very different from size, demographics, leadership and involvement <br /> with the community. In each of these I was able to contribute my own expertise and collaborate <br /> on many projects. I feel that this experience and my youthfulness would be a great asset to the <br /> Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau Board. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> While working in Orange County beginning in 2010 1 have been active in participating in Orange <br /> County Visitor Bureau events and bringing new business to Orange County through our <br /> Residence Inn by Marriott Chapel Hill. Now as the General Manager I hope to use this <br /> experience to help advise on new marketing plans, community events, and business plans to <br /> improve the economic activity and quality of life in the community. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> As General Manager of the Residence Inn by Marriott Chapel Hill my role is to create a safe <br /> workplace for my associates, a wonderful stay for my guest, and drive revenues for the hotel. I <br /> do not see this hindering my role on this board. <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br />
