This is an informal blog dedicated to those with a passion for Starwood Hotels & Resorts. Welcome!

About me
I’m a 26-year-old former business strategy & operations analyst with Deloitte Consulting. I recently made a challenging decision to start a new career by taking a sales coordinator role in pursuit of my personal interests and passion in hotels. I’ve learned so much in my current role and look forward to growing in this industry.
I started this blog as a way for me to learn a few new things about Starwood with each post. The result to date has been hundreds of readers who visit the blog each day and learn along with me. Thank you for your support, and I’m glad that you are getting something out of this as well.
Where do I go from here?
In the future, I aspire to join a world class hotel marketing/branding organization, sell to key clients on a global level, or develop tourism as part of a regional tourism board. I recently accepted an admissions offer to join the MMH Class of 2010 at the venerable Cornell Nanyang Institute of Hospitality. Between my analytical consulting skills, on-property operational experience, and a top notch education in hospitality/tourism, I hope I will achieve my career goals. Please wish me luck!
