Cassidy Cardozo

When Cassidy was only eleven, her adoring older brother Bart suffered a severe TBI in an auto accident. The arc of her life was forever changed. Many challenging years for the family followed, and she eventually became a founding board member of the BART Foundation.

She earned a BS from Siena College, majoring in Management and minoring in French, including a semester of study abroad in Lyons France. She was involved in SIFE, Habitat for Humanity, and intermural softball and soccer. She attended for many years Camp Mujigae, Americas largest Korean culture camp for adoptees, as a camper and eventually a senior counselor.

Beginning in high school as a busser in a fine restaurant, she has gone on to a distinguished career in hospitality, working for Marriott and other smaller boutique hotels, as a supervisor, manager, and director, including most notably on the Opening Team of Perry Lane Hotel (Savannah) declared one of the Best New Hotels in the World 2019 by Conde Nast Traveler, one of the best hotels (Top 25) in the U.S. for TripAdvisor, and the 2019 Travel & Leisure’s “It List” of the Best New Hotels in the World. She has traveled widely in the United States and Europe. She currently does recruitment for Hilton Hotels.

Cassidy resides in Orlando Fl with her husband Miguel and their son Alexander.
