Terri Russell

I was born in the beautiful city of Vancouver, British Columbia and grew up on Vancouver Island.  I moved back to Vancouver to begin my journey where I have lived for more than 30 yrs!

I graduated from Hospitality and Tourism program at BCIT and then I jumped “onboard” to start my career on a Cruise Ship.  Over the years, I have experienced a variety of positions within our amazing industry from Housekeeping & Front Desk, to Chief Purser, to Sales and Catering Manager to my current position as Director of Global Accounts for Omni Hotels & Resorts.

I am a proud MPI BC Chapter member of 24 years, and have served on the education committee and was heavily involved in the planning and leadership of the Partners in Professional Planning (PIPP) Conference.

When I’m not working; I enjoy travelling, cooking, working out, hiking with my dog Lucy and perfecting my golf swing!

I couldn’t achieve what I have without my personal cheer section:  my husband Quinn of 22 years, and my 2 teenage boys Cole & Roan.

I’m looking forward to my leadership journey with the MPI BC Chapter and my goal is to strengthen our community to thrive again!
