Mikala has worked at the Country Inn & Suites for three years. “She is great with guests and always comes in with a positive attitude.  Guests love her friendliness and oftentimes will write positive reviews to management on what a great employee she is. When asked what there is to do in the area, she is able to direct visitors to restaurants and attractions and helps people find what they are looking for in the Visitor’s guide. No matter how busy she is, she is always available to answer questions and help guests out.” Said owner, Jeff Hasse.

Mikala is a junior in high school and plays volleyball and basketball. Even with her full schedule, she is a hard worker, maintains good grades and is dedicated to making each visitor to Northfield feel welcomed.

Northfield CVB Board Chair Robert Stai said “For someone her age to not only stay with the same job for over 3 years, but also to flourish and come to be so knowledgeable about the community and to present and promote Northfield so well is nothing short of exceptional. An award like this at such an impressionable age is likely to have a significant positive impact on her outlook going forward, and encourage her model community behavior. “

The mission of the Northfield CVB is to market and promote Northfield, and enhance the economic vitality of the community by attracting visitors, tour groups, corporate meetings, conferences, retreats, and events to Northfield.   For more information on the Northfield CVB, please visit our website at www.visitingnorthfield.com.
