Regional Director of sales
Marsha began working in hospitality in 1976. I started my career at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Tallahassee, Florida. My markets at that time were SMERF and Government. Since the major industries there were FSU Sports and State Government, I learned a lot very quickly. Within a few years I had progressed to become a Director of Sales. A title I have held throughout my career at Hilton, IHG, Wyndham and Choice Hotels.
I have worked with CUSA since January 2015. I started with the Comfort Suites at the Airport, and as smaller properties came available, I was able to fulfill the function of a Director of Sales in several hotels in the CUSA portfolio. I currently have four hotels, My Place Hotel, Greenville, SC, Kennesaw Inn, Kennesaw, GA., Microtel Inn & Suites, Woodstock, GA., and Comfort Inn, Demopolis, AL. These are diverse properties and markets so each one has its own set of challenges which really keep me on my toes.
I am a Georgia native, born in Forsyth, Georgia and raised in Bainbridge, Georgia. I attended Huntingdon College and Georgia Southwestern as well as independent studies at Florida State University. Mother of a son Russ, Army Veteran and father of 4 and a daughter Julia, brilliant child who is the mother of one. I have 7 grandchildren (3 are steps) and 1 great grandson who just arrived late in May.
I love what I do, since no two days are alike and I get to work with great people at CUSA As well as getting to know quite a number of my better clients.
For fun I scuba dive, fly small aircraft and love to read, and spend time with my close friends!! I live in Cobb County on the Chattahoochee River with my cat, Cece-Silly Cat.
