Meet Brittany
Brittany never thought she would end up working at a hotel spa. The Hotel Industry was a whole new world to her, but it was at this place where she found not only her calling but also her dream job.

Brittany Flores worked part-time as a front desk agent at a hotel spa while studying nutrition communications in college. She quickly discovered it was a place where she could have a career promoting health and wellness, not just for hotel guests, but for her coworkers and herself.

Starting off as a front desk agent

Rising through the ranks
The interactions with guests and the working environment became Brittany’s passion. She found her career path in the hotel’s health and wellness services.
Director of spa
Growing within the industry while doing what she loves has had a life-changing effect on her. She oversees the day-to-day operations of the spa and makes sure guests and coworkers feel pampered, appreciated and happy.
“We’re not a 24-hour operation like the hotel. We get to open and we get to close. That’s a great opportunity for people who want more traditional working hours. I love my working hours. I mean, I think that’s definitely a benefit. And ultimately, you get a balance of life, and that’s really what the spa is about anyway, right?”
