My professional career in hospitality and the tourism industry began as an undergraduate student at Arizona State University. While achieving my Bachelor of Science degree in Recreation Management & Tourism at ASU, I assisted in Arizona travel research projects, and studied abroad at NHTV University of Professional Education in Breda, Netherlands, focusing on tourism trends & impacts in Europe. Having worked in numerous aspects of the industry on both coasts of the US, my knowledge of the tourism industry is multi-faceted. I moved over to the site selection side of the industry in 2004. I was awarded the distinction of a “Meeting Professional to Watch,” by ConventionSouth magazine in 2008, became a Certified Association Sales Executive (CASE) in 2010, was included in Connect Association's 2018 “40 Under 40,” and earned my CMP designation in 2020. We designed MMP to be the single point of contact for sourcing, negotiating, planning, event management, and support, through personalized services, allowing our clients more time to focus on the goals and objectives of their meetings, while we ensure the logistics of their events are always a success.Specialties: Meeting Procurement and Contract NegotiationDestination ManagementHotel and Destination RelationshipsAttrition & Cancellation Management and Mitigation Hospitality Contract LanguageCertified Meeting Professional (CMP)Certified Association Sales Executive (CASE)
