“I am proud to join The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Boston, South Station Tower and be part of such a monumental and historic project for the City of Boston and Hines. From my previous office across town, I’ve been able to watch South Station Tower rise above the clouds these past couple of years. I can’t imagine a better opportunity to now be a part of this incredible new property and shape the experience. I’m thrilled to lead and uphold the highest standards of hospitality for our future residents,” says Turgeon.
Turgeon grew up in Michigan and graduated from Michigan State in 1998. In 2003, after five years working in-state within the financial sector, she found her passion in hospitality and took a position with a local events company conceptualizing and executing themed social events. That same year, she also began working with The Ritz-Carlton as a banquet server for the hotel’s Deaborn property and later became the hotel’s meetings and special events manager. She moved to Philadelphia in 2006 where her career continued to thrive under The Ritz-Carlton brand, overseeing events and meetings for the hotel, and later becoming the Director of Hotel Operations. Turgeon transitioned to The Ritz-Carlton, Boston in 2015 where she held the same position leading the hotel’s $14 million renovation and managing all aspects of rooms and food & beverage for the property. She now moves over to The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Boston, South Station Tower to oversee the 166 residences in the luxury residential community.
