Services offered

I am a business-oriented individual, excited to apply my experience in marketing, management and event planning.  I have worked in private banking, event planning, marketing and PR, and helped build a non-profit from the ground up.  I believe that the combination of all those experiences gives a unique perspective in the industry.  

As an individual, I am self-driven, responsible, organized, and reliable.  I have been planning events my entire career and am able to manage both the bigger picture and the minute details that are needed for a successful event. I have planned many different types of fundraisers for nonprofits organizations as well as large conferences for financial planners that included golf outings, big producer awards dinners, keynote and panel speakers, and continued education sessions.  Having run a nonprofit on my own, I understand and appreciate the need to be budget conscious and can strategize ways to provide an excellent experience without going over budget. 

I am adept at managing multiple stakeholders during the project management process and understand what is necessary to maintain a high-quality brand and provide an excellent customer experience.
