Resourceful, articulate, and seasoned event professional with over a decade of experience managing high-profile, large-scale events in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. Adept at handling every aspect of event planning and execution with poise and precision, I specialize in complex, heavily attended events with countless moving parts—thriving behind the scenes to ensure a flawless experience for attendees, presenters, clients, and hosts.
Known for my calm demeanor and level-headed approach, even in the most demanding situations, I bring a positive attitude, strong leadership, and meticulous attention to detail to every event I manage. My passion lies in turning a client’s vision into reality, going above and beyond to create unforgettable experiences. There is no greater reward than seeing the sparkle in a client’s eyes on the day of their event.
Outside of work, I’m a licensed commercial pilot with an instrument rating and an avid hunter/jumper equestrian—bringing the same focus, discipline, and drive to my personal passions as I do to my professional endeavors. This unique combination of skills and interests makes me a dynamic and valuable asset to any team.
