Ms. Davis recently relocated to Salinas from Tampa, Florida where she had been employed at Rahenkamp Design Group. Ms. Davis has also been employed Kevin J.

Ms. Davis will be assisting current staff with the following accounts: Crowne Plaza Cabana, Colonial Terrace Inn, Nino Development Incorporated, Tickle Pink Inn and others.

Jennifer Dassel was hired as Account Coordinator, and will ensure progress of account workflow by working closely with Full Steam Account Executives. Lifelong resident of San Juan Bautista, California, Ms. Dassel recently graduated from CSU, Sacramento with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and has held previous posts with the Hydro-Relicensing Project for the Sacramento Municipal Utility District in Sacramento as well as the California State Legislative Rural Caucus in the State Capital as the caucus director.
