Internview #11 – Julianne “Jewels” Ireland
What Exactly is it that you do?
Great question! Well I’m the Sales Manager for the State Park which includes the winter and summer businesses. The winter is based mostly around groups, both national and international, as well as working with upwards of 80 lodging properties to offer one of the best value deals for a ski & stay package. You can also see me selling some tickets here and there, working events, and “testing” the product! The spring is preparation time for the thousands of people who will be visiting the Tram and Flume. I help organize groups (general and Tour Operators), facilitate the sales of Tram and Flume tickets at the same local lodging properties, sell Tram tickets, and organize events in Profile Field (this is a growing aspect of my job). Finally, the fall is spent on the road at colleges, universities, ski clubs and ski shows. This is the best part of my job, but also the most demanding. You are all over New England, but the good news is that I can talk about something that I absolutely love!
What is your favorite part of your job?
The traveling. I’m getting to a ton of states that I would not have otherwise gone to (Texas this year)! The skiing part is pretty awesome too…
If you could go or ride anywhere in the world where would it be?
Can’t pick one, but mostly likely a warm, small island.
On a lighter note, whats one thing you can’t live without?
I can’t live without my two Boxers (Baylie and Dozer)!
Who’s your favorite super hero? If you could have any power in the world what would it be?
I kinda dig Storm from X-Men. I don’t know what my power would be, but it would have something to do with flying at a fast rate of speed. I’m sure if I sat here all day I could come up with some good ones….but work calls.
And last but not least, what’s the last thing you ate today? Was it good?
A bagel! I could live on cream cheese! How could a fresh bagel toasted with the perfect amount cream cheese be bad?
