BGV Family Spotlight
At Breckenridge Grand Vacations, we have a family motto, ‘OneBGV!’ This includes our employees and our owners. The BGV Family Spotlight will let our employees get to know our owners and our owners will have a chance to get to know our employees!
Employee Spotlight
This month’s employee spotlight is Caroline Briggs! Caroline has worked in our Owner Relations department for a little over a year and is a Senior Owner Support Specialist. Here is a bit about Caroline:
- What is your favorite place you have traveled to? – A few years ago I got to go to Sayulita, Mexico and I had a wonderful time on the beach, eating cheap tacos, surfing, and experiencing such a wonderful culture.
- Favorite thing to do outside of work? – I love to snowboard! I am so excited for the winter and I can’t wait to hit the mountain twice as hard this year. Pray for snow! Peak 10 is my favorite place to snowboard in Breckenridge. I also love the Colorado Avalanche and I was lucky enough to use the BGV Suite for the Avalanche vs. Wild game in September. The biggest treat of 2021!
- What made you move to Breckenridge? – I grew up in Colorado Springs, so Breckenridge holds a special place in my heart. In the middle of the pandemic last summer, my boyfriend suggested we relocate and my bags were packed 10 minutes later. I love the culture at BGV having come from less desirable workplace experiences. BGV sincerely cares about the quality of life for its employees and empowers us to excel in our positions.
- Favorite part of your job? – I love sending people on vacations here in Breckenridge. Mental health is so important for a balanced life, and our owners deserve to unplug in the mountains. Helping owners escape their stressful lives is key to my success at BGV, and I love to help owners find the right vacation, great food, and all the fun we have here in Breckenridge.
- If you could be any superhero, which one would it be? – I would be any superhero that flies so I don’t have to hike to the top of Peak 9 this winter. Flying would be less killer on the quads
- And last, anything else you would like our owners to know about you? – I love living the dream here in Breckenridge, and I think everyone should find time to unplug, soak, and slide their way into a better state of mind. I am happy to help our owners and clients experience the same magic that I get to immerse myself in every day. And let’s make it extra Grand!
