January 23, 2013 - Melisa “Missy” Marvin, Front Desk Agent, from the Navy Lodge Corpus Christi, Texas, has been named the Navy Lodge Program’s Associate of the 3rd Quarter 2012. “Missy is one of the friendliest faces you will see upon check-in,” said Mary E. Mecsics, General Manager, Navy Lodge Corpus Christi. “She goes above and beyond the expectations of the basic front desk agent requirements. She gives 110 percent every day, even when she’s under the weather.” Marvin trains all new front desk agents for the Lodge and her Front Desk Supervisor and Manager know they can depend on her to get the job done. She comes up with ideas on teamwork, how to improve over all front desk guest service and how to have better communication through all the departments. “Missy sets the standards for her fellow front desk associates and is well respected by every team member,” said Mecsics. Navy Lodge guests know they can count on her as well. Marvin gets to know the guests on a personal level and is able to assist them with their every need. Having grown up in Corpus Christi, Marvin is very knowledgeable about the area and is happy to share her wealth of information on restaurants, neighborhoods and school districts. Repeat guests ask for her by name in hopes that she will be working a shift during their stay. In addition, when she works 3rd shift, Marvin is also able to assist guests with their housekeeping and maintenance needs. Since arriving at the Navy Lodge five years ago, Marvin has used very little of her sick leave, volunteers to work through weekends and holidays and will cover for an employee last minute if needed. “She is extremely dependable and a couple times has been a lifesaver,” said Mecsics. Marvin completed all her courses on-line for Educational Institute and has received her Reservationist Certification. She is currently working on completing her PBX Operator and Front Desk Representative certifications.
