Today, we are shining the spotlight on Spirit of Lowe award winner Brandon Anthony Baello, Director of Finance at Galleria Park Hotel. Brandon has been part of the CoralTree family for more than a decade, bringing together operational insight and deep financial expertise to support his teams in meaningful, lasting ways. In his first year at Galleria Park, he single-handedly transformed the hotel’s financial culture, taking full ownership of month‑end close, ownership reporting, tax filings, payroll, and introducing P&L reviews that empowered leaders across the property. His calm, thoughtful approach turns finance from something intimidating into something collaborative and accessible. What truly sets Brandon apart is how he leads. He’s known for patience, humility, and a genuine desire to make others stronger. He mentors across departments, uplifts colleagues, and is trusted at every level for his integrity, transparency, and ethical leadership. Brandon’s service extends well beyond the hotel. He has dedicated more than 3,000 hours to community service from youth leadership programs to environmental initiatives, food distribution, and even a recent medical mission in the Philippines. His lifelong commitment to giving back mirrors the same compassion he brings to work every day. We’re proud to celebrate Brandon, an exceptional leader whose excellence, character, and generosity embody the true Spirit of Lowe! #leadership #spiritoflowe #hospitality #hospitalitymanagement #teammembers

Last month, we announced our Spirit of Lowe Award winners. This month, we’re excited to further spotlight the incredible individuals behind the recognition and how they continue to strengthen our company from the inside out. First up, Debra Sayre, Front Desk Agent at Sunriver Resort. For more than eight years, Debra has been a steady, positive force at Sunriver Resort, someone whose presence elevates every shift. She’s served in Banquets, Housekeeping, Night Audit, and now the Front Desk, stepping in wherever help is needed and consistently setting the tone for exceptional hospitality. Her teammates often say that when Debra is on the schedule, guests will be cared for, details will be meticulous, and the environment will be warm and welcoming. Her commitment to service extends far beyond the resort. Debra is also a full‑time special education teacher supporting high‑needs and behaviorally challenged students, work that earned her the distinction of Central Oregon and High Desert Teacher of the Year, and recognition as the first alternate education teacher to receive this honor at the regional level. On weekends, she teaches driver’s education, driven by a desire to make her community safer after the loss of a local student. Debra’s compassion is equally profound in her personal life, supporting her family through major health challenges, welcoming at‑risk youth into her home, and providing life‑changing support to those in need. She brings positivity, integrity, and grace to everything she does. Debra doesn’t just represent the Spirit of Lowe, she embodies it. We are grateful to have her as part of our CoralTree family and proud to celebrate her even further! #leadership #spirtioflowe #teammembers #hotelmanagement #hospitality #hospitalitymanagement
