Erin O’Neill: Going for Gold has always been this lady’s aim! Erin hails from the emerald isle of Ireland, where she has lived for most of her life. Her passion for people took her overseas to experience the dynamic growth and cultures in Dubai to her current role as a Senior Sales Manager for the Le Meridien Mina Seyahi team and the flagship Westin Property in the Middle East - The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi. This Irish cailin has definitely got the “gift of the gab”, a gift that many people try to acquire by kissing the Blarney Stone in Ireland. This, along with her talent of inspiring & developing the best in those around her, makes her an instant friend to all she meets. View posts by Erin

Michelle Mc Carthy
Hailed from a beautiful village called Labasheeda in Co. Clare, Michelle is now living for the past 2 years in fast paced Dubai working as a show manager in the exhibition industry.

With a passion for traveling and meeting new people, it is no surprise that Michelle has experienced a number of challenging and creative jobs that brought her too many interesting pockets around the world. After graduating in 2001 from Mary Immaculate College in Limerick with a BA in Media and Communications, next stop for Michelle was St.Louis MO, USA, here she worked in a uber creative community radio station as a producer. After too much time spent in an editing room it was time of a change! With a desire to work in the great outdoors, no better place to move than the Caribbean. Here Michelle worked as a sailing assistant and part time retail manager under the glorious rays of the Caribbean sun. Returning home to Ireland in 2003, Michelle divided her time between substitute teaching and working as a restaurant manager. Then next stop was Dubai! The common thread in all these experiences is that Michelle loves people! A passion of connecting people is what attracted Michelle to the Hot Hoteliers group. She thrives on meeting new interesting and dynamic people… Her motto in life ‘no challenge is too great’
