Before SHW, I… received my degree in Hotel/Resort Management and started with Hyatt Hotels as a Sales Manager. My time working for Hyatt set a great foundation for the work that I do now for my clients.

If I could travel anywhere in the world it would be… the Philippines. My in-laws are from there and it is a magical place. I have been, but there is so much to explore. The people are the most generous, loving people I have ever known and the landscape is gorgeous. I love the history of the country and want to learn as much as I can which will likely require many trips.

Over a Grande Drip Coffee with Cream, we could talk about ­life in general. I love learning about people and what makes them tick. Hearing about where people have travelled allows me to live vicariously through them! Being a mom allows for a lot of conversation with other moms and dads, though I am considerate not to bore people with parent talk. I’m always picking people’s brains for great, healthy recipes….even though I may not make them I’m always looking to add to my list! That is my way of saying I wish I liked to cook and really should, but just haven’t caught on yet.
