EDUCATION

I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO YOUR FIELD?

I was blessed to have gotten a part time job as a hostess at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch, while going to school. I quickly fell in love with the Food & Beverage industry and grew from there.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH CORDILLERA RANCH?

3 ½ years

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ASPECT OF WORKING IN THE HILL COUNTRY?

The views are incredible; I am honored to work in one of the most beautiful places in Texas. I always share with guests that I have worked here for 3 ½ years and I never get tired of the scenery.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES/INTERESTS?

Cooking, spending time with my family, golfing, and fishing.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SPORT?

Football, I am an avid Green Bay Packer fan!

FAVORITE SPORTING EVENT YOU’VE ATTENDED?

My dad took my sister, Becky, and I to watch him play in a Fed-Ex Champions Tour Pro-Am in Austin. Golf was always an activity that brought the three of us together and it was great to watch him play in that atmosphere. We also had the opportunity to meet Tom Kite, who won the 1991 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach where my dad was the Director of Golf Course Operations.

FAVORITE QUOTE?

“It’s good to have an end to journey toward; but it is journey that matters, in the end.” Ernest Hemmingway

FAVORITE MOVIE AND WHY?

The Great Gatsby would have to be one of mine. Also one of my favorite literary works, I admire the theme of hope and the fact that the story is not concluded with a typical “happy ending”, but rather a realistic one in which Nick learns go on, valuing the lessons learned along the way.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST REWARDING EXPERIENCE IN YOUR BUSINESS?

This business is rewarding on a daily basis; whether you helped a guest create the most memorable day of their life, or produced the perfect wine pairing for a member’s entrée. I find that the level in which you enjoy what you do will directly affect how rewarding even the smallest triumphs are.

Favorite aspect or feature at Cordillera Ranch?

That would definitely be the diversity the clubs have to offer. We have menus, activities, and outings that can cater to most any lifestyle!

Outdoors

Birding in Cordillera Ranch

Bird watching can be a joyful experience. The sounds of birds frolicking outside your Cordillera Ranch home can be a great addition to your garden and landscape. Bird feeders are the quickest and easiest way to attract our winged friends to your yard. If you have ever visited the Outfitter Center at Cordillera Ranch, you’ll have no doubt about how much I enjoy feeding birds and having them around the entire year.

Manager's Message

Wow, what a time of year!

Spring never disappoints, with warmer weather, longer days and prettier everything, it’s easy to feel a sense of rejuvenation and rebirth during these splendid months. While we’re only a handful of months into the year, and there’s a feeling of a fresh start, it also feels as though some things are coming to conclusion.

Broadway Shines Bright: Spectacular Theatre Nights Begin at The Club

There’s nothing quite like the magic of Broadway — especially when it’s enjoyed with friends, great food and front-row seats. Our Club’s Broadway Night outings have become a beloved tradition, offering members an unforgettable evening of culture, camaraderie and convenience.

Golf

Play-A-Hole #7

The 7th hole at Cordillera Ranch is our second Par-3 that you will encounter and can look pretty daunting from the tee. The green slopes away from you and to the right while being guarded by a large bunker on the front/right side and a couple of bunkers on the left side. In case you thought long was safe … it’s not — there’s another bunker there, too!
