My years of award-winning work & collaboration with renowned chefs, amazing venues and advanced creatives in the wide-ranging field of events, has shaped my event expertise in creating high-level guest experiences and flawless executions. I became a member of the International Sommelier Guild in 2004. My primary focus was Italian wine and have been fortunate enough to have worked with well-respected wine gurus such as Henry Bishop III- formerly of Spiaggia, Paolo Cerruti- Owner of Beivuma Inc., Dustin Goldstein- Founder/President of Enye Wine Group and Brian Duncan- Wine Director of Bin 36 and Bin Wine Cafe fame. In 2008, I took on the entrepreneurial adventure to help develop Truffleberry Market Inc. (a wildly successful and creative, luxury catering & event company) known for its adventurous food creations and stunningly beautiful event displays / designs. After a decade of developing innovative, luxury events, I joined forces with the legendary Chef Bill Kim, to transform his cool, gorgeous and laid-back space in the West Loop, into one of Chicago’s top “must-have” event locations. 2019 started my work with Hard Rock International. What was wonderfully refreshing was Hard Rock’s commitment to public service. I've had such pleasure creating and marketing fundraising efforts for local, national and global organizations like Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Research, The Trotter Project, Mercury Trust Aids Research Foundation and The Remix Project.2022 gave me the incredible opportunity to work with the globally-renowned TAO Group, creating some of the biggest and boldest events in Chicago! I'm beyond thrilled to be a part of TAO Chicago with it's multi-level venue, complete with visually stunning event spaces, performance-level audio & visual capabilities, and TAO partners with the most sought-after performers and experiential event artists around the globe!
