As the Director of Sales & Special Events at Coasterra, I spearheaded the opening of the waterfront property, overseeing all operational procedures and leading a dedicated team of sales managers and banquet team members to deliver exceptional event experiences. I was responsible for departmental budget development and oversight, establishing sales goals and KPIs, strategic relationship development and management, training and mentorship of my team. Through contract negotiations, risk assessment/mitigation, financial management, resource planning, and vendor management, I ensured the success of each event while fostering valuable community relationships.
