Marissa Krems
Director of Spa
Elms Resort and Spa
fueled By a mission: “It was my first
year at Pebble Beach Resorts that I
found my passion for hospitality. While
working full-time at the resort, I decided
to take on a part time receptionist
position at Cinq Mondes Spa in Carmel,
California. I quickly fell in love with
everything in the industry. From the
people and products to the mission
behind the work we did, I felt a deep
love for what we were doing. Within a
year, I had earned a promotion as the
assistant spa director. I knew I had found
my people and the community I had
been longing for.”
Dana Christ
Director of Spa
Spa La V at La Valencia Hotel & Spa
coming home to sPa: “I thrived in an
environment where I was working with
incredibly talented colleagues whose only goal
was to help people feel better through the
power of touch. I had found my tribe and
wanted to learn more. All my free time was
devoted to learning every aspect of the
business. My hard work paid off, as I was
promoted to several management positions
throughout my time at La Costa. Eventually, this
translated to working as a spa director in a
myriad of spa settings throughout the top spas
in San Diego.”
