Her skill set includes financial management, the planning and opening of spas, branding, sales, vendor relations and more. Her propensity for impeccable service and individuality ha s been recognized by leading publications such as Conde Nast Traveler, Travel & Leisure, SpaFinder Wellness and World Luxury Awards .

Alexander-Ramsey has also served as a volunteer on both the International Spa Association (ISPA) Focus Group Task Force as well as Green Spa Network Membership Task Force, and is a published contributing author to the college textbook Hotel Management and Operations - Fifth Edition .
