Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island Promotes From Within to Add to Team of Catering Sales Managers

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - June 4, 2018 - PRLog -- Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island is excited to announce the promotion of Samantha Tucker to catering sales manager.

With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Musical Theater, Tucker moved to Hilton Head Island upon graduation, starting a job at the Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort as the assistant to conference services. Tucker fell in love with the hospitality industry after a year at the Omni and she quickly became interested in wedding-planning and working with couples as they were planning their wedding. Tucker joined the Sonesta team in 2017 as a sales and catering coordinator.

Tucker earned her new role as catering sales manager as a result of her hard work, dedication and love for the island resort. In her new position, she will be responsible for overseeing all small weddings and social catering events (up to 75 guests). She will take care of everything from site inspections and contract negotiation to day-of coordination of the events for her clients. Tucker will also be responsible for detailing and servicing some of the corporate, association and government groups that the resort's sales managers book.

Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island seeks long-term growth for its team members and loves to promote from within the company.

"Samantha's previous experience working for Sonesta has given us all of reason to believe that she is a great fit for this new role," said Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island General Manager Jay Wiendl. "We are so excited to have her on board as a catering sales manager and trust in her ability to excel at this position."
