J. Armando Escobar
I’m originally from La Paz, Bolivia, South America. A few years after graduating from High School, I decided to come to America and study Hotel Management. After graduating with a Professional Designation in Hotel & Restaurant Management, I worked for many national hotel chains such as Hyatt, Marriott and Hilton hotels.
Many years and many hotel management positions later, I found my new passion… UCLA. Working as a Sales Manager for UCLA Conference Services for the last 8 years, I have been successfully able to apply all my hospitality-industry-experience to my department and my guests. In my current position, I assist my clientele in planning conferences from beginning to end. I make sure that all the details are properly planned and executed.
I also hold a Professional Designation in Marketing and Advertising from UCLA Extension. Marketing is one of my passions and I have been involved on many marketing strategic planning ventures within my department. I certainly hope to develop my marketing abilities to further enhance the UCLA name recognition at a national and international level.
I’ve been accepted to participate at UCLA’s Professional Development Program (PDP) as part of the 2007-08 cohort. The PDP has definitely helped enhance my vision and perspective of the UCLA Community by exposing me to this wonderful group of professionals that take the UCLA name to the next level.
It is a real honor to be considered to become part of the UCLA Staff Assembly Executive Board. I’ll do my very best to ensure that the mission and vision of the Assembly are well represented and carried on.
During the weekends, I like to BBQ and work in my yard. I’ve also been learning to play golf along with his 15 year-old son.
