What is a typical day like for you as the VIP Sales Manager for TD Banknorth Garden?
A. I price special packages for events at Boston Garden and then sell VIP seating to an elite clientele.

What do you see the biggest challenges and rewards for women working in the hospitality industry? A. I would say it is a challenge for young women to be taken seriously.

Hospitality is about relationships and women naturals in this area! Q. Do you have any advice
