With fifteen years of experience in event planning and management, I am currently the Director of Special Events at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, where I oversee the development and execution of fundraising and awareness events for the state's only NCI-designated cancer center. My biggest career accomplishments to date is planning and leading the 2023 Gourmet & Grapes event on Kiawah Island to raise over $1.3 Million and $1.4 Million in 2024 for cancer research and patient programs. In my previous role as a Development Coordinator at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, I supported the cultivation and stewardship of donors, sponsors, and volunteers, as well as the coordination of marketing and communication strategies. I am passionate about creating memorable and impactful events that advance the mission and vision of MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, and that inspire and engage the community. I am always eager to learn new trends and best practices in event planning and management, and to collaborate with diverse and talented teams.
