We were retained in a management capacity to plan and manage the events. For this, I operate as the Chief Operating Officer and handle all of the budgeting & financials for each event. Operating in this position during the events is extremely fast-paced, high intensity environment where many decisions have to be made on the fly that will make or break the financial success of the event.

For over four years, I advised and oversaw the daily operations and systems development for the company. I also consulted with clients on brand creation and management, graphic design and collateral production, social media strategy, and marketing and advertising execution.
