Bio
Anne Bartholomew
Laurie is a great person to work with whether you are a colleague, supervisor, or manager. She is willing to put in the extra effort needed to exceed customer expectations and provide a great guest experience. I know that when unexpected obstacles come in her way, I can trust that she will make the right call and handle the situation properly. The best thing about working alongside her is she is always willing to improve and seek opportunities to not only better her skillset, but the work environment she is in.
