Where hospitality meets operations

Founder | Dozier Destination Management Services

For Jeniece Franklin, meaningful experiences begin long before guests arrive. They begin with a vision, thoughtful planning, and an understanding of the people an experience is designed to serve.

With more than 20 years of professional experience spanning hospitality, operations, public service, and community-focused programming, Jeniece brings a multifaceted perspective to retreat development and destination management.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Event Management from Indiana University and began building her hospitality experience with Hilton Hotels, working across guest services and sales. Her career later expanded into public service, where she developed extensive experience in program coordination, organizational operations, relationship management, and community engagement.

Today, Jeniece is returning to her hospitality roots through Dozier Destination Management Services, combining her operational expertise with her passion for creating intentional, meaningful experiences.

Her vision is to partner with creators, authors, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations seeking to bring their communities together beyond everyday settings. Through strategic consulting, retreat development, and hospitality coordination, she helps clients explore how their ideas can become thoughtfully designed and professionally managed experiences.

Jeniece believes that exceptional hospitality is about more than destinations and beautiful spaces. It's about understanding the purpose behind a gathering, creating an environment where people can connect, and ensuring the details support the experience.

Her approach is grounded in a simple belief: when purpose, people, and thoughtful planning come together, meaningful experiences become possible.
