Camila De La Cruz comes from Eagle Pass, Texas where her passion for hospitality began when she was 14 years old. Camila quickly climbed the ladder by working in every department in the hotel industry. Her goal was to someday become a General Manager of her own hotel, so she moved to San Antonio, Texas to pursue higher education and career opportunities. While attending the University of Texas at San Antonio, Camila became involved with the National Society of Leadership and Success, where she held the role of Room Coordinator, Publicity Chair, and Vice President while working full time at a full-service hotel as a Front Desk Clerk.
She was also an active volunteer for the community and organized events such as Paint the Town and Habitat for Humanity for the National Society of Leadership of Success as well as started their first social media page. Camila was also selected as a member of the 2015-2016 Distinguished Business Students which represented the Top 2% of the College of Business at UTSA as a student ambassador. Shortly after she completed her degree, she continued working her way up the hospitality industry and became Assistant General Manager for the Courtyard by Marriott in San Antonio and completed Intermountain's Climbing Mountains Management Development Program. During the program, Camila was sent to aid other properties across the country and was promoted to General Manager shortly after completion. Today, she manages her own Courtyard by Marriott and occasionally volunteers to train new coming General Managers for the company and task forces for other properties managed by Intermountain in the country. She hopes to continue her journey as a leader for her organization and help mentor others in the process. When she is not working, Camila also enjoys hiking, drawing, reading, and cooking. |
