Stacy previously worked in the hospitality industry as a Franchise Operations Manager, acting as a liaison and guide between corporate and individual hotels for more than sixty mid-scale hotels at one time. She attained that position after starting out as a line-level employee working at the front desk, housekeeping, and as a laundry attendant, being promoted to the front desk supervisor, then to the Sales Manager, then to an Assistant General Manager, a General Manager, and then to a Franchise Operations Manager.
