Sara Christensen is a Experienced Event and Program Manager - Corporate Events at Freelance. Colleagues describe her as "Sara is an Event Ops magician. Her experience with Jack Morton brought the operational rigor that managing multiple client events creates, as well as the customer service skill building that only demanding tech clients can test. Sara shows up ready to work on all her projects with such attention to detail that her teams are always grateful for her quality control, which keeps everyone and everything running smoothly. As a colleague I always knew Sara would ask questions to ensure clarity for planning, but as her manager I knew I had a trusted utility player who was consistent and professional. Any team would be lucky to have Sara join them to create successful events, from sales enablement programming to corporate events and prospect experiences." and "Sara is a rare gem in the events management space. I worked with Sara over two years, managing Splunk’s premier learning and development pre-conference event, Splunk University. When I first stepped in to run the event from the education side, it had been paused the previous 2 years, but that didn’t seem to phase Sara: she got right to work connecting with vendors, staying in constant communication about changing COVID requirements and staffing lists, and even helped update minute details like registration numbers. Having worked several large technology events over the years, what I appreciate most about Sara is how calm and collected she is in the face of what can feel like insurmountable, and often stressful, logistical challenges. Last year, I witnessed her running point in multiple all-staff meetings, wrangling her fellow event professionals with a quiet confidence that is quite remarkable – not to mention her heartwarming smile! These traits and more make Sara a true joy to work with, and I would highly recommend her for any job in the marketing and events world."
