As a devoted wife to my wonderful husband and mom to both a wacky human baby and two fur babies, I find great joy in my family’s happiness and spending as much time as I can with them. I am a true Las Vegan. Nowadays, I feel like there aren’t many of us left who have decided to stay. I have been called quirky (okay, maybe they said weird, but I interpret them the same).
My professional journey began in (yep, you guessed correctly) the casino industry where I dipped my toes into the workforce through retail; every 18-year-old girl’s first job! However, I knew this wasn’t my forever career and began following my marketing passion in college, where I received my bachelor’s degree in business marketing at UNLV. This is also where I met my husband, my better half, my rock. I’ve never been one to shy away from work and while juggling full-time work and studies, I seized an opportunity at Aria Resorts to get my foot in the door with MGM Resorts International (MGMRI).
It made sense to follow my family’s footsteps and begin my MGM path in the entertainment world working for Cirque De Soleil. Transitioning to international marketing, I became an Executive International Host at MGMRI and began building relationships with both clients and colleagues. It is fitting for someone who personally has no interest in gambling to have their job experience solely focused on casino gaming, right?
My international host family was truly a second family to me. However, the onset of COVID prompted me to shift towards my true passions: advertising and marketing. I left the big corporate world behind and went to work for a family-owned private equity firm as Marketing Director, overseeing marketing initiatives for real estate nationwide. I loved every minute but was ready for the next big thing. To broaden my horizons, I began a new adventure with Quillin, as Account Executive. In my short time with Quillin, I can tell how special the agency and the team are. The family-like dynamic, commitment to their clients, and overall welcoming culture make me feel like I have found the true place I belong. Now I strive to provide the same level of commitment and excellence to my clients here.
And as for a personal pursuit of more dogs? One might magically appear in my house soon!
