What is your claim to fame?
At the Embassy Suites, everyday starts with "eggs to order" along with all your breakfast favorites. "Eggs to order" everyday distinguishes Embassy Suites from other hotels and I'm proud to be the one to prepare everyone's favorite.

What makes you original and unique?
Being in the hospitality industry it's the things that make you stand out from the crowd that get the attention, and the Embassy brand's "eggs to order" breakfast does just that.

Who or what inspired you to come to Alexandria?
My parents relocated from California in 1995 and I just love the city of Alexandria.

What is your secret to success?
I love my job and I love to make people happy, especially first thing in the morning.

What is your proudest achievement?
A couple came downstairs for breakfast with leftovers from dinner, and I was able to make a delicious omelet for them.

Best date idea in Alexandria?
The movie theater on King Street and ice cream afterwards at one of the different ice cream parlors in Alexandria.

Favorite places to go for brunch, happy hour, dinner under the stars, lunch deals, and places to take your dog?
I love taking my dog down to the water. Japanese is my favorite dinner.

If you had friends visiting Alexandria what would you tell them to do and see during their visit?
I would recommend they attend the Alexandria Red Cross Waterfront Festival in the summer and the annual Festival of the Arts in the fall.
