We would like to welcome two new staff members to our staff! First up, our new Director of Education and Events, Andrea Stroble. Andrea graduated from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in 2015. Shortly after graduating, she began her career in the hospitality industry as a Sales Assistant at the Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel at Station Square. As she learned about the group sales aspect of the hotel business, she became much more interested in the event planning and catering. After about a year she was promoted to the position of Executive Meeting Specialist where she worked in the Convention Services department and obtained extensive knowledge in hotel operations and client relations. When she relocated back to the Harrisburg area in the summer of 2017, her experience at the Sheraton in Pittsburgh led her to a position as an Event Sales Manager and Wedding Specialist at the Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey Hotel. Here she directed countless Weddings, Galas, and black tie events. When she’s not working, Andrea enjoys cooking, playing with her cat Beau, and attending live music events in the area.

Our second new employee is our new Director of Communications and Technology, Brittany Mlynek. Brittany graduated from Juniata College with a Degree in Multimedia Technology Strategies in 2017 and is currently completing a Masters Degree in Strategic Communications. Throughout her college career, she completed an honors thesis mastering the relationship-marketing approach, which was then accepted to the National Conference on Undergraduate Research in 2017. After graduation, she began her career in the communications field as a marketing consultant at Operation Crusader, a relationship marketing company based in York, PA. While working there, she gained the experience needed to create a cohesive marketing and communication plan for various companies. While in her downtime, Brittany enjoys photography, drawing, and spending time with her family.

Be sure to give them a warm welcome the next time you see them at our next events.
