Staff Spotlight: Melissa Mosley
Lissa
Mosley is an Innkeeper Support Specialist. Her constant smile and can-do
attitude are just a couple of the reasons innkeepers enjoy speaking with
her.
Lissa enjoys the friendly and relaxed atmosphere at BedandBreakfast.com.
“Our different membership levels allow innkeepers to tailor their listing to
their needs and get exactly what they want; those elements combine to make
my job fun."
"Innkeepers are very welcoming and giving," Lissa says. "If I visited all
the innkeepers who have invited me, I would never be at work."
In her spare time, Lissa enjoys reading, eating sushi, and playing with her
6-year-old daughter.
P.S. Did you know that BedandBreakfast.com Support Specialists are pleased
