I have learned that setting expectations at the beginning of conversations or relationships makes communicating more effective.

I was able to really grow as an individual and push my boundaries.

What is your proudest professional accomplishment to date?
Being able to open up a new hotel in California right before the pandemic and stay open due to several long-term groups I was able to get.

What are some of your favorite things about being an MPI member?
The networking and friendships that come out of it.

Beginning of September and back to Paso Robles, California.
