Our team\'s accomplishments include designing floor layouts, overseeing FF & E acquisitions, and crafting integral policies and procedures. An innovative Dealer reward and recognition program under my leadership has notably improved operation efficiencies and staff morale.Transitioning to Interim General Manager, I spearheaded the property\'s 24-hour reopening amid the pandemic, expanding gaming operations and introducing a 200-seat sports book. This strategic growth resulted in a 27% operational increase and a 6% rise in Tribal Employment, earning us the \"Best of the Desert\" accolade in 2021. My commitment to guest relations, compliance, and workforce satisfaction has been pivotal in fostering a culture of excellence and service within our organization.
