Sharlene Crandall | Associate

Sharlene has always found the hospitality industry exciting, so it was no surprise to anyone when she majored in Hotel/Restaurant Management at NYU. Sharlene's first job was as a member of the opening team at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York. Starting in entry level positions, she eventually worked her way up in the industry to Director of Catering where Sharlene's love of people and making them happy became her "special sauce"! Ironically, it seems her passion for hospitality extended to her personal life when she fell in love and married a Chef!

Now using that same energy and passion to make people happy, Sharlene has joined The Hunter Group where she can give others the opportunity to reach their career goals in the hospitality industry.
