I started my event career at the USO of Metropolitan New York, where I managed large-scale events for servicemen and women, including Fleet Week aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum and various fundraising galas. My experience at the USO led me to The New York Philharmonic, where I refined my skills with more specialized events. At The Phil, I organized corporate fundraisers, the Opening Night Gala, and the Young New Yorkers for the Philharmonic events, collaborating with top social and corporate leaders in New York. This role taught me to set high expectations for vendors and develop creative solutions from concept through reconciliation.Next, I joined Time Warner Inc., where I managed Board of Directors meetings, executive forums, Annual Shareholders meetings, and events for Subsidiary CEOs. I then transitioned within the company to Fortune Magazine, handling high-level events for CEOs, CIOs, COOs, and CFOs. A highlight of my time at Fortune was producing the Fortune Global Forum in Beijing, which featured the top 50 global CEOs and included meetings with President Jiang Zemin and Premier Zhu Rongji.I later founded my own event firm, Event Representation & Production, a “virtual company” that assembles experts as needed for each event. In 2004, I launched Just the Help You Need!, where I remain dedicated to exceeding client expectations and delivering exceptional results for each event.
