A Proven Leader for the Next Generation of Hoteliers
With over half a decade of experience in hotel operations and a lifelong passion as a fourth-generation hotelier, I have honed my skills in staff training, maintenance solutions, and navigating complex OTA relationships. My leadership includes serving on National, State, and Local committees with AAHOA, advocating for hotel owners on Capitol Hill, and working on impactful legislative issues in Oregon and Washington. Beyond the industry, I have dedicated myself to community service, serving as the Chair for Make-A-Wish Oregon and volunteering with organizations like the Oregon Food Bank and the Portland Bureau of Community Engaged Policing.
I invite you to explore my background and vision to see how I am prepared to guide the next generation of hoteliers and serve as your AAHOA Western Division Young Professional Director.
