After retiring from the film industry in 2017, I moved into hospitality management. My experience in film production and property management made this transition seamless. Now, I leverage my background as an Interim Innkeeper -Chef – Inn Coach. I love what I do! As an Interim Innkeeper, in brief, it’s my responsibility to oversee all aspects of Inns operations, from checking in guests, offering Concierge services, purchasing, working alongside staff, managing reservations, banking, breakfast service to often walking the dog. In the owners’ absence, it’s important an inn runs smoothly and upholds its quality standards to maintain the charm of the Inn. As an Inn Coach/Consultant developing the overall infrastructure to sustain your vision is vital. For existing Inns, often a “tune-up” is all that’s needed. My assignments have spanned various states and regions, including Vermont, upstate New York, Hawaii, Montana, Wyoming, Michigan, Alaska, New Mexico, Utah, Virginia, British Columbia plus others. I’m a member of the Interim Innkeeping Network and hold the following certifications: SERVSAFE Manager – Certified Nutritionist through Duke University School of Integrative Nutrition – Dr. Sears Wellness Institute – Red Cross CPR. To add, 1st Responder training.
Guest comments:: “Coming from Italy and Mexico, Deborah was an amazing Host. She helped create a wonderful experience and a very pleasant surprise. We loved it! Grazie Mille!” Mariangela Zappia, Ambassador “We can’t thank Deb and Suzi enough. They made our stay on Mackinac Island and the Cloghaun Inn one of the most memorable ever”. Pam & Rob Simpson (Newlyweds) “Poached pears in white wine over crème fraiche and garnished with a stick of cinnamon. Scrambled eggs with fresh chives and sundried tomatoes, with a side of homemade pierogis filled with potatoes and light cheese. Deborah used to feed film crews, who are desperately in need of inventive, creative chefs who provide refuge from horrendous filming schedules with culinary comfort. Here she invents the dreamy, beautifully presented breakfasts daily after meeting her guests and “reading” their tastes. Snow’s multiple inn-keeping and cooking skills certainly created a temporary “home” in this charming B&B, in the town where early 20th century feminist poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay, one of the first female Pulitzer Prize-winners, grew up”. “Thank you for showing me the chickens. Send me cookies” 8 yr old, Agatha
