In 2020, I became one of the youngest Black women in the U.S. to co-own a hotel franchise.
I changed my mind a million times about what I wanted to be when I was growing up. At various points, I wanted to be an ice skater, an event planner and an historian. I didn't even think about becoming a hotel owner or working in the hotel space until my college years.
When I first started at the Hyatt it was definitely entry level and I didn't have a lot of responsibilities. I was checking in guests as the face of the hotel, and making sure they were taken care of. I worked with just about every department of the hotel because guests come to the front desk about everything. I'd always been curious and so that developed my knowledge of hotels further.
I was an intern for about three months before I decided to stay on the corporate side of the hotel industry. I started as an entry level analyst and the clients I worked with were hotel owners. I was supporting the head consultant at the time, making sure our clients were taken care of, working on feasibility studies and assisting on projects.
My courses and consulting services are all online now, but we do host in-person events where we create experiences for people to learn about the industry first-hand, including touring hotels from an owner's perspective so people can better understand what's needed to become a franchisee of a major hotel brand.
