Beginning her career in hospitality at 22 years old, Martinez brings a wealth of knowledge to one of Vision’s newest properties. The foundation of her expertise stems from her education and degree from Florida Atlantic University. Early on, she worked for Marriott International, taking on the responsibilities of supervisor, manager, revenue management and training in both the Courtyard and Residence Inn brands. For a time, Martinez was later recruited by Jameson Hospitality to manage the company’s training and development operation with its in-house university program. Upon leaving Jameson, she returned to Marriott, gaining recognition as General Manager Excellence in Sales Award as the head of the Residence Inn by Marriott in Boca Raton, FL and led in revenue management as the revenue analyst for more than 13 full-service and limited-service hotels in Florida’s Palm Beach and Broward County. Since 2006, Martinez has been general manager of the Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton where her skills were tested most recently when she took her property from the bottom 30 percent in guest satisfaction to the top 3 percent in the brand within 24 months. As a result, the property earned the Excellence in Quality Award for six Outstanding quality assurance inspections.
