This year, PMA will feature one member each month in our Member Spotlight feature. This month, get to know Cayla Rios, Sales and Marketing Manager at The Club at Olde Stone.

PMA: What is your educational and career background?

Cayla has a Master in Communication degree and a Bachelor’s degree in Corporate and Organizational Communication from WKU.

PMA: How did you get started working for Olde Stone?

Cayla: I did some events for the Bowling Green Junior Women’s Club and networked with people who worked at Olde Stone. A job came open for an events coordinator and I was hired. I’m now in charge of all sales and marketing for the club.

PMA: What do you enjoy most about your role there?

Cayla: Definitely interacting with the brides and clients that I meet. I love working as a team with my co-workers alongside local vendors in the area and planning fun parties.

PMA: What are some lessons you have learned throughout your career that has made you a better marketing and communication professional?

Cayla: Network, Network, Network! You have to put yourself out there and just meet people. Being shy just isn’t an option if you want to market your company. I used to be so nervous going to networking events because I didn’t know anyone. I finally just got over it and started talking to everyone there!

PMA: If you could describe yourself in three words, what would those three words be?

Cayla: Outgoing. Calm. Perfectionist.

PMA: What do you feel is the greatest benefit of joining PMA?

Cayla: The dessert that we have at lunch. JUST KIDDING! I love hearing other people’s perspectives and ideas and how they do things. It helps me learn and grow.
