Background

About Avery Houser

I recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Tourism, Conventions, and Event Management at Indiana University Indianapolis, where I was recognized with Dean's List High Honors for my academic success. Throughout my college career, I gained hands-on hospitality experience while working full-time for White Lodging at Marriott IndyPlace, a campus of five downtown Indianapolis hotels. I progressed through several operational roles—including Event Concierge, Guest Service Representative, and Dual Event Coordinator—and most recently completed a Hospitality Leadership Internship. These experiences allowed me to support and lead the execution of large-scale events, collaborate across departments, and build strong service and leadership skills. I also served as a Lead Campus Ambassador at IUPUI, where I trained student leaders and supported major university events. My passion lies in creating exceptional guest experiences and building strong, detail-driven event teams. As I begin my new role as a Banquet Operations MIT at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, I’m excited to continue growing as a hospitality professional and contributing to the success of the events and tourism industry.
