When I began my career back in 1986, I had no idea how much of the work I was doing was actually event planning!
During my time at Passbook Clubs and then at Five Star Limousines, I had the honor of working with just about every major corporation you can think of. As a result, I'm highly adept at understanding (and respecting) internal politics and protocols that exist within corporations and associations.
I focus on Meeting, Event and Conference Planning, which is perfect because I'm passionate about education and I love designing experiences where the participants are able to get a full experience of peer learning, networking, meeting new vendors and/or attending exciting themed events or an elegant awards dinner.
Educated at SMU in Dallas, Texas and then groomed professionally by my parents in business operations, the "old-school" style of doing business with integrity is firmly ingrained in how I approach every project I lead alongside my clients. But, I bring a very modern approach to the table, as well, with my advanced technology capabilities and masterful understanding of how to utilize social media as part of the marketing aspect of planning meetings, conferences, and events.
Over the past 17 years, I've been able to successfully parlay my marketing intelligence into the meeting & event industries.
By investing time to be surrounded by the best in the industry, my strategic planning skills have been honed to perfection and enable me to produce programs using solution-based, creative ideas that are deployed with heart and purpose.
My constant goal is to ensure the client's overall messaging is delivered powerfully, educational topics are purposeful and the event marketing yields the highest possible participation and/or revenue rate from attendees and sponsors!
