Each year, I curate 24+ markets, collaborating with host venues to build events that reflect their commitment to diversity, the arts, and local history. Marketspace comes from a place of understanding the need of vendors to feel informed and represented with their best interest in mind. What spurred from my own artistic hobby, became a means of building up other small business makers.I fundraise and manage sponsorship for Marketspace's largest annual production ($60k), Winter Village at the Red Mill Museum in Clinton, NJ. Since inception, I have grown Marketspace's network to more than 7,000 small business owners with an engaged social media following of more than 14,000.My role extends beyond event curation; I manage the behind-the-scenes aspects of the business, from processing trademarks and securing domains to overseeing financial statements and the annual budget. Additionally, I create compelling press releases, social media content, blogs, and marketing materials to promote both events and exhibitors, ensuring their visibility and success. By combining strong organization, a deep commitment to community, and creative vendor management, I aim to make every event meaningful and memorable for both participants and attendees. Show less
