ASHLEY LUCAS

Ashley is the reason our club sparkles every day. Her strong attention to detail and solid work ethic make her a perfect fit as our night cleaner.

CASSIE MARKWARDT
Front Desk
Kfrontdesk@radissonkz.com
269.226.3184
Cassie loves to help people and it’s why she’s a great fit at our front desk. She also loves to learn: she earned an associates degree in graphic communication in 2004 and is currently enrolled in the business management program at Western Michigan University, where she also takes classes in occupational therapy, health and human services. And she’s active! Camping, kayaking, canoeing, parasailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, knee boarding, tubing – if it involves water, it likely involves her. |

JOHN PETERS
Front Desk
Kfrontdesk@radissonkz.com
269.226.3184
John helps manage our front desk and does so with effervescence and dedication. The senior exercise science major (business minor) at Western Michigan University hopes to one day have a career that merges fitness with substance abuse rehabilitation. In addition to his role at KAC, John is a supervisor at Webster’s Prime, the Radisson’s four-diamond second-floor restaurant. He is a music enthusiast who has played the guitar for 10 years, so don’t be surprised if we let him provide live music during one of our group exercise classes. |
