Bio
Mike Ferreira, MHA, DES
I always tell Kim that she has something that you wish you could clone. She is the definition of sales/entrepreneur. Her experience, knowledge, drive, and passion for her career is unmatched. I know that Kim doesn't have a "ceiling" and I am so proud of everything she has accomplished so far. The world is her oyster!
John Ceseña
I had the pleasure of working with Kim when I was a small group sales manager. She took on the role as my mentor and helped me gain the knowledge I needed to pursue a successful career in group sales. Kim always put her clients first and would fight to make sure their needs were being met when brokering a deal. Now, as a meeting broker Kim still continues to put her client's needs first. Coming from a hotel background, Kim is very good at streamlining the whole sales process by being transparent with the hotel. As a hotelier this is very rare to see with meeting brokers, and it makes the process of working with Kim very enjoyable.
