Coordinating With Purpose, Serving With Heart

Behind every successful event is someone who thrives on details, logistics, and creating experiences that leave a lasting impression. With over a decade of administrative and creative support experience, I’ve played key roles in planning and facilitating everything from multinational leadership meetings to community gaming events—and I bring the same level of care, strategy, and follow-through to each one.

Whether managing venue logistics, coordinating guest lists, communicating with vendors, or crafting promotional materials, I excel at making complex events run smoothly. I’m also proud to lend my skills to causes and communities that matter—serving in volunteer leadership roles that combine organization, creativity, and a passion for people.

From the boardroom to the ballroom to the convention floor, I’ve built a career supporting experiences that bring people together and move missions forward. If you’re looking for someone who can handle both planning and execution—with energy, empathy, and efficiency—I’d love to help bring your next event to life.
