CollapseDescription

The past 17 years have been spent honing my skills as a multi-talented coordinator and manager of special events – both for and non-profit, with 9 years in the travel industry, coordinating individual corporate, leisure and group travel. Whether it is a concert, convention or a 5 & 10k race, I’ve enjoyed the challenge and success of coordinating many types and sizes of events. I'm dedicated to provide exceptional service and leadership to reach the common goal of successful events.
