Career and Event Advisor delivering logistics-driven, well-executed programs and student-to-job pathways.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Career and Event Advisor with over six years of experience in city event planning and coordination. I currently serve as a Graduate Advisor for an HVAC trade school, providing student support, coordinating job placement efforts, and managing logistics for graduation ceremonies.
I bring a global perspective from a year spent teaching English in South Korea, strengthening my cross-cultural communication skills and adaptability. Previously, I developed community programs at the Plymouth District Library and played a key role in organizing the annual Wyandotte Street Art Fair (a four-day event drawing over 250,000 attendees), coordinating vendor setup, street closures, equipment rentals, sanitation, safety measures, and public communications—while also helping manage an $800,000 event budget.
