I research/cold call prospective groups in the convention and tradeshow business, identify and reach out to the local community to help solicit meetings and conventions for Cincinnati. As a former sales manager for a downtown restaurant, I saw the direct impact that convention business brings to the restaurant's bottom line. I know my job directly impacts not only my former restaurant, but all restaurants, hotels, night clubs and many other businesses in the hospitality industry. I love the energy of Cincinnati, it is very easy to connect to creative and innovative people who want to make Cincinnati a better place to live and work. I live in Clifton Heights and love my neighborhood because it is a very walkable area with great restaurants, bars, unique shops, including a bike shop for my last minute needs. We make a point to know our neighbors through happy hours, events, neighborhood cleanups and other projects to improve our neighborhood.
