Georgia Fischmann
Sales & Operations Coordinator

Georgia Fischmann
Georgia is a southern girl from New Orleans with roots in San Francisco, excited to be back on the West Coast! Graduated from LSU as a biology major and psychology minor, and most of her professional experience is actually in the medical field. She has varied experience in the hospitality industry, including event planning for a biomedical research facility and several positions in the restaurant industry. With a lifetime of knowledge from observing and helping her mother with her business as a luxury property manager and interior designer, she found her skills more useful in collaborative and creative outlets.
In her free time, she loves to swim, hike, and run outdoors (the California weather is going to make that a lot more enjoyable). She values family above all, and nothing brings her greater joy than entertaining and cooking for them! Social and fun-loving, she is always up for meeting new people and bringing friends together.
