Avery W.

Marketing Proposal Specialist

Hospitality is about making people feel genuinely welcome and like they belong. It’s about treating everyone with respect, making sure they feel seen, heard, and valued. True hospitality is making others feel like you're not just serving them, but that you're truly there for them.

When I was younger, I used to make extravagant PowerPoints to present my case to my parents for why I should get a pet, a phone, or whatever else I wanted at the time. I wasn’t super successful, but my marketing skills have improved a bit since then! Today, I enjoy creating proposals at Gardner because it gives me a chance to form connections across various teams and be a part of big project wins. I bring an upbeat attitude, strong organizational skills, and passion for creating detailed, compelling proposals for the team.

Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s boating, tubing, or jet skiing. I also love checking out new restaurants and breweries, and setting ambitious reading goals for myself.
