Having pivoted from creating and managing large-scale in-person events to impactful virtual galas and events, my expertise is in helping drive organizational growth, awareness, and engagement. I'm a dedicated professional with exceptional communications, leadership and organizational skills, who can understand the mission of an organization and communicate that mission throughout all aspects of an event.
