Visitor Information Specialist

After a very successful convention sales career including time at Lanier Islands Resort, I retired with my husband to operate a bed and breakfast in the north Georgia mountains. Since recently closing that chapter, I was happy to be called back into service with Discover Lake Lanier at the Visitor Center in Flowery Branch. Contact me if you have a group coming into town and need local information or need more information on group meeting opportunities in the area.
