Meet our team
Sara Mahoney – Senior Sales Manager
Greetings—I’m truly delighted to be a part of the exceptional team at SentryWorld and to have the opportunity to sell a remarkable destination. As senior sales manager, I merge life lessons from family and sales to foster togetherness in my team. Our guests will remember staying at our luxurious boutique hotel or playing on our championship parkland golf course—renowned for its inviting atmosphere and the celebrated Flower Hole. And there’s plenty to offer non-golfers as well, including taking a paddle across the clear shallow waters of the Wisconsin River or enjoying delicious, locally sourced cuisine.
There’s truly something for everyone here at SentryWorld. I look forward to introducing you and your guests to an authentic Wisconsin experience. SentryWorld is a destination within reach.
Nevada Pazdra – Sales Associate
Hospitality and service are at the core of who I am. As an employee at SentryWorld for more than 10 years, I’ve enjoyed being part of a company with a rich history and witnessing the tremendous transformation of SentryWorld through its renovation and restoration, bringing both the golf course and our facilities back to world-class status.
I’ve gained valuable insights and knowledge on every aspect of our services—from working at our on-site restaurants, on the golf course, at weddings and events, and most recently, in sales. With an attention to every detail, I’ll take the time to understand your specific requirements so that I can offer you options that are best suited for your event. I look forward to working with you and finding opportunities to go above and beyond to make sure every aspect of your experience is remarkable.
Dorene Stolpa – Sales Associate
I had the privilege of joining the Sentry Services team in 2015, shortly after the opening of the renewed and reimagined SentryWorld. As a native of Stevens Point, I’m incredibly proud to be part of SentryWorld and Muse at Sentry, serving our community, the Midwest, and our destination visitors.
As a sales associate, my goal is to assist you in reaching an exceptional SentryWorld experience! One that lets you know you’ve arrived at a place where you’re always welcome. I value and look forward to building strong client relationships and partnerships to help create successful events.
Richard Johnson – Event Manager
I’m a central Wisconsin native and longtime resident of Stevens Point. With more than 20 years of hospitality experience, I’ve worked with hundreds of bridal couples and meeting planners to help execute their vision of a perfect event. I enjoy coordinating with the room setup staff, banquet staff, and kitchen chefs so everything about the experience meets that vision.
My staff and I verify every detail, and we’re available for any last-minute tweaks. Sometimes things happen—a glass of wine gets spilled, a guest has an undisclosed allergy, or more people than anticipated arrive. My team is on the lookout for the unexpected and prepared to fix it. I’m looking forward to helping you host an event that will bring you exceptional experiences and cherished, life-long memories.
Cheryl Rushevics – Event Coordinator
As a career events professional with more than 25 years of experience and a SentryWorld team member since 2014, I’m ready and able to assist and advise on all facets of creating a wonderfully successful meeting, event, or celebration. From our first planning session to the conclusion of your event, I bring a special level of commitment, enthusiasm, and innovation to ensure no detail is overlooked.
My highest mission and greatest joy is offering seamless and confident coordination so you and your guests can focus on enjoying the beautiful facilities, services, and amenities of SentryWorld.
Daniel Schmid – Event Coordinator
As an event coordinator at SentryWorld and Muse at Sentry, I work with my clients to determine and define every detail of their event—from food and audio-visual needs to room layout and décor. On the day of any event, I’m onsite to ensure everything runs smoothly—so you can relax and enjoy it as much as you want your guests to.
I have years of experience in a variety of event-planning positions and I’m truly devoted to my profession. I enjoy the incredible variety of events we’ve had the great opportunity to host at our facilities. I look forward to meeting with each new event host, or connecting with our return clients, and diving into the planning process. My greatest reward is a successful, well-executed event, a delighted customer, and a rebook or a referral.
Natalie Hackel – Event Coordinator
As a native of central Wisconsin with a passion for events, I pursued my dream as a wedding and events planner at the University of Wisconsin–Stout, majoring in business administration with a minor in hotel, restaurant, and tourism management. With my exceptional attention to detail and perfectionist nature, I’m inspired to make sure each and every event I have a hand in exceeds its potential.
Building a relationship with my clients is as rewarding as it is exciting, and I enjoy every step of the process. Whether it’s a walk down the aisle or meeting with a potential business client, seeing it all fit perfectly together is a feeling like no other.
