15+ years establishing my own company helping businesses orchestrate large and small corporate events. Establishing my own businesses has afforded me the abilities to manage varied personalities, handle emotional crises efficiently, and keep on task to complete the job on time. My strengths in event planning include pre-planning, contractual negotiations, budgeting, on-site execution and delivering a high standard of excellence. I am highly adaptable to change and build successful relationships with clients, vendors and administrators.
