I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree in Drama from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Upon graduation, I was accepted into the prestigious workstudy program at The Banff Centre where I studied Theatre Craft, Stage Carpentry, and Stage Management. Later, I furthered my education at the Toronto School of Art; pursuing my dream to work as a set designer. After working in the theatre industry for 10 years, I returned to school for a diploma in Event Management - Event and Exhibit Design at Seneca College. Since joining the events industry, I have become a passionate member of the International Live Events Association. In 2017, I was recognized for my “creative vision and determined execution” in my role as the ILEA Toronto President and awarded the noteworthy J. Robert Graves Pioneer Award. Working as an event producer has allowed me to combine my natural inclination to manage with my desire to design. And while I sometimes miss my homegrown theatre roots, I thrive on the fast paced large scale productions that corporate events are expected to create.
