La Quesha
Thunder Valley is a place to learn and a place to advance from within, says La Quesha. When the property's luxury hotel was added, so were lots of new jobs - and she landed one of them as Status Board Operator.
From this entry level, communication-oriented position in the Housekeeping department, her career took off, leading to Assistant Executive Housekeeper. Along the way, she learned not only the challenge of hotel management, but also the skills of active listening, patience and a love of the team culture and people at Thunder Valley. The best thing about the job? "I love exceeding the guest's expectations and ensuring their stay is a wonderful experience. There's nothing like that feeling!"
