We are excited to announce Tabitha Taylor and Gabriella Falagian as the Service Excellence Award recipients for  October – December 2021!

Tabitha Taylor is an Inspector at Peppertree Atlantic Beach Resort in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. She is being recognized for maintaining high levels of performance while assuming additional responsibilities. While the position is one of great importance, its weight has increased greatly over the past quarter and her responsibilities have increased with it. She has stepped up and taken on new challenges with determination. She is an excellent people manager and has been instrumental in keeping operations running smoothly while her Director was on vacation and also out sick. Tabitha consistently performs at high levels despite being the main caregiver to her mother, who is battling cancer. Through her positive attitude and perseverance, she has earned the trust and gratitude of management and teammates. She is a true inspiration to all and a valuable asset here at SUN.   Gabriella Falagian is a Laundry Attendant at Tamarack Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, and is being recognized for being a great utility player who is willing to pitch in wherever needed. Gabriella goes above and beyond her job title to achieve success for her team. She does not hesitate to jump into another role to get the job done. When the Director was dealing with a knee injury, Gabriella threw on her Houseman hat, took the initiative to deliver baskets in the morning, and was back in Laundry by noon. During the height of the holiday season in December, Gabriella added Deep Cleaning to her skills. With care and meticulous attention to detail, she assisted her team in accomplishing more deep cleans. On the busiest holidays, Christmas and New Year, she volunteered her time to help teammates complete assignments, lighten their workload and achieve daily goals. The helpfulness of Gabriella and her willingness to step into any role makes her an outstanding team player. She is a great asset to her team and to SUN.

After receiving her degree from culinary school, she managed a bakery and worked as a Sous Chef. She is also trained in the medical field as an EMT and is certified as a Clinical Medical Assistant, Phlebotomist and Basic Life Support.

That's why I feel very grateful and honored that Sun Hospitality has offered me the opportunity to join their thriving team and what I already see as a wonderful place of business, with a welcoming and cohesive atmosphere.
