When life threw me a curveball in 2013 with the tragic and unexpected death of my 19 year old daughter, I dusted myself off and immediately launched a highly impactful, results-oriented nonprofit in response to this most devastating loss. We have received national recognition for our lifesaving work and we successfully got legislation passed in PA that will help to save young lives - "Peyton's Law."In addition to leading the work of The Peyton Walker Foundation, I also run a meeting/event planning business - Choice Meetings. Now that meetings are making a comeback (post-Covid) - we're refocusing on our exemplary delivery of white-glove service for our clients and their events.Delivering memorable, well-executed and successful meetings is my core focus. With close to 30 years in the meetings and hospitality industry, I think I've seen almost everything in this business. I'm quick on my feet, confident in problem-solving and extremely tedious in pre-planning. I'm able to draw on my experience and dedicate my energies to providing professional meeting/conference planning and meeting management services.
