Previously, she was general manager of Timbers Jupiter, also in Florida. She also served as director of event operations, hospitality and fan experience for the Kansas City Royals for four years.

Hokuala, a Timbers Resort on Kauai's eastern coast features a 16.5-acre organic farm and orchard, a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course and 17 miles of hiking and biking trails. The first phase of the development, Timbers Kauai, opened in 2018 and features two- and three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom townhomes. Vacation rentals are offered from the pool of residences, and travel agents receive commissions for client bookings. The master plan for Hokuala also includes a luxury hotel to be built as part of future phases of development.
