About ME
I'm Gabriella, the Senior Director of Business Development at Grand Welcome of the Smoky Mountains. I was born and raised in Southern NJ and earned my Hospitality degree from the College of Charleston in SC. I've developed a deep passion for this ever-evolving field with six years in the short-term rental industry and fifteen years in the hospitality industry. I find immense satisfaction in helping owners maximize their investments.
What I Love About The Smokies
When not working, I love to travel, explore the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and spend quality time with my friends and family. I'm also a food enthusiast, with The Peddler Steakhouse, The Old Mill Restaurant, and Crockett's Breakfast Camp being my go-to spots in the area. Living in the Smoky Mountains, I always take advantage of every opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, whether it's hiking, biking, fishing, or skiing. I'm excited to bring my passion for this region and industry to my role at Grand Welcome.
