The Howell Hotel / Thurston Enterprises

I’ve managed The Howell Hotel since launch: bookings, guest communication, staffing, cleaner schedules, inventory, accounting support, maintenance, and owner coordination. I also led its first formal rebrand and built the website. The guest experience starts long before check-in.

Queen BnB

I built a house-cleaning business through word of mouth, personal marketing, and repeat clients. Some relationships grew into branding and advertising work for vacation rentals. Turns out doing the first job well can open a different door.

Also part of the education

Work that teaches you to read a room.

Hospitality teaches you to notice what people need before they ask. Cleaning teaches you that the details count even when nobody is watching. Both stuck.

A busy dining room is a crash course in people: who wants conversation, who needs space, and when a calm voice can change the whole interaction. Working in someone’s home adds another kind of trust. You learn discretion, boundaries, and how to fix a problem without making it someone else’s bad day. I bring that attention into client meetings, talent direction, and leading a team.
