Tiffannie Diaz

Private & Special Events

I graduated from Rutgers, majoring in Economics and although not a direct path to hospitality, I am appreciative for the various
opportunities that have led me to Park Avenue Club.

Prior to entering the world of hospitality, I worked as an Operations Manager at a call center in Jersey City. Like many, I saw the opportunity to explore a new career path during the pandemic and was able to join the team at Echo Lake Country Club in Westfield, New Jersey in 2020.

I love being a part of a member's event. From the starting of an idea, to following through with the planning and coordination of the event to the satisfaction of knowing that the event was executed perfectly! Being a part of the events team paired with the top tier level of service and quality of food made joining PAC and easy decision. I want all our members to know that I am here for all upcoming events in their lives. Let's plan the perfect occasion together! You can reach me at [email protected] or call (973) 301-8233.
