About Me

I have over 20 years of experience in Event Management & Production.  

I have listed below some of my core competencies – a.k.a. things I am good at doing. I can provide a regular old resume upon request & you can also check out my LinkedIn profile. 

Leadership & "Big Picture" Planning 

• I love leading teams to drive the strategy, planning & execution of internal & external events. The team could be comprised of the client team & internal team or an internal team & agency team - either way, we will bring a program to life, on time & on budget.
• I oversee all aspects from the initial phase of strategy development & creative conception with a proven approach, & see the team all the way through onsite execution, measurement & post-project reporting. 
• I have significant experience managing large budgets. I often have dreams of spreadsheets.

Communication & Collaboration

• I take a collaborative & results-oriented approach to lead the creation of audience-centric experiences.  I have a proven record of working in synch with all parts of organizations, business owners & across multiple teams. 
• I thrive in a collaborative team-oriented environment. 
• I avoid chaos & foster collaboration by clearly defining  team roles, establishing ownership of those roles by the team members, & openly communicating the team structure. 

Event Strategy

• I love working with stakeholders to define purpose, nail down objectives, define the audience & their objectives, structure project organization, & outline metrics (among other parts of my process). 
• I then get REALLY excited to lead the creative & execution team to develop strategies to target every objective & align them with purpose. 
• I get even more excited to have the data analyzed after completion to see that the strategy was successful in meeting all objectives, & then use that data to improve for the following year.
