What do you do at Hotel Murano?

I am front desk supervisor at the hotel. A typical day includes checking guests in and out, serving as concierge, making reservations and resolving guest service issues and concerns

Are you from Tacoma originally?

I was born in Tacoma, raised in Puyallup. I’m the oldest in a family of six and have three younger brothers. After graduating from Emerald Ridge High School in 2004, I attended Washington State University for two years. After that I moved to Seattle and worked at a salon for about a year. Needing a change of career and scenery I applied at the hotel (still as a Sheraton) and moved back down to Tacoma.

Any pets?

I have one cat. His name is Jaxson. He’s about 7 months old, very feisty and playful.

Name one experience at Hotel Murano that you will probably never forget for the rest of your life.

I will never forget how crazy the hotel was during the renovation process! Moving the front desk across the lobby, trying to check in guests and answer phones while being surrounded by jack hammering, retiling, putting together artwork and decor – phew! It was quite an experience but after all is said and done it turned out beautiful and it was great to be a part of the change.

What do you like to do after hours or on your days off?

Outside of work I enjoy working out, but my passion is running. I have run two triathlons, and right now I’m training for a half-marathon. I enjoy sports, going out, shopping, going to concerts, crafting (scrapbooking), going to the movies. I spend most of my time with my family, friends, and boyfriend.

What would you like to be doing in ten years?

In 10 years I would like to be married, possibly with children. I would still like to be working part time, maybe being a teacher

What is your favorite pizza topping?

BBQ chicken… yum.
