Grenada's Green Globe-certified Blue Horizons Garden Resort has appointed Kendra Hopkin-Stewart to the role of Assistant Manager overseeing the resort's general operations. Hopkin-Stewart grew up in the ‘Isle of Spice’ and migrated shortly after high school to pursue her higher education in Canada. Throughout her travels and work experiences she honed her skills in the Hospitality arena, namely, Marketing, Guest Services and Operations. Her return to Grenada and the application of her experience to the boutique resort business model will bolster Blue Horizon's reputation.
After receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration at the University of Western Ontario, Hopkin-Stewart headed to Toronto where she obtained her post graduate diploma in Business Marketing from George Brown College. She then relocated to New York for advanced training in Food and Beverage Management at Cornell University.
Hopkin-Stewart has 10 years experience in the hospitality industry, including InterContinental Hotels Group and Hyatt, where she held the titles of Guest Services Manager and Assistant General Manager, respectively.
She returned home earlier this year to assume her new strategic role at Blue Horizons Garden Resort, where she has ‘jumped in with two feet.’ Along with overseeing the general operations of the Resort, Hopkin-Stewart places her focus on social media opportunities, guest services and training. She is also the Creative Director for all in house promotions, advertising, and collateral material.
The eldest daughter of Owner/Manager, Arnold D. Hopkin, Hopkin-Stewart brings a wealth of management experience to the resort from hospitality chains such as Hyatt and InterContinental Hotels Group as well as a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration and post graduate diploma in Business Marketing.
