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.
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.
Emily Janis – Event Coordinator
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point with a degree in biochemistry but ask anyone and they’ll tell you planning is who I am. Event planning isn’t work for me, it’s fun and that’s why I enjoy it. SentryWorld makes loving my job easy—with our beautiful one-of-a-kind golf course, stunning event spaces, and our new hotel.
My passion is providing exceptional service to those traveling from near and far to our charming central Wisconsin town I’m happy to call home. I thrive on getting to know clients and giving them an event better than imagined. With my attention to detail and passion for service, I ensure our clients feel taken care of and their events are executed to the highest level—from perfect room setups to signature cocktails. I’m an expert multitasker who brings calm and confidence into any situation. I look forward to working with you, your corporation, your family, or friends.
Rhiannon Kizewski – Event Coordinator
I was born and raised in Central Wisconsin and have lived in Stevens Point for 10 years. I’ve worked in hospitality for more than 12 years, obtained a degree in Business Administration, and have found my passion in event coordinating. I’m proud to be a part of the dynamic SentryWorld team and love being surrounded by the picturesque landscapes and inviting atmosphere.
As an event coordinator, I’m passionate about helping my clients create positive and memorable experiences, while bringing their vision to life. I combine my attention to detail, organization, and years of experience to deliver an exceptional SentryWorld experience. I value connecting and getting to know my clients on an individual basis.
