Ari has over a decade of experience in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry. After graduating from the University of Mississippi with a degree in Hospitality and Business, she accepted a front desk position at the JW Marriott in Downtown New Orleans. She eventually moved to catering sales, where she truly fell in love with the industry. Upon moving back home to the Mississippi Coast in 2016, she accepted a Destination Services role here at Coastal Mississippi. She's been managing Convention Sales ever since and can’t imagine working in any other industry!
