What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced organization where I can plan memorable meetings and conferences, manage budgets and vendors, and use my communication and technology skills to streamline planning from timeline to registration.

I’m a detail-oriented meeting professional with extensive experience supporting corporate teams in fast-paced environments, combining highly organized planning with exceptional communication. For more than two decades, I’ve led meetings end-to-end—building relationships, managing calendars, and ensuring seamless execution.

As a Meeting Planner/President and Meeting Planner/Vice President of Sales, I developed and maintained vendor relationships, managed budgets and resources, and negotiated favorable contracts to secure optimal pricing and services. I also leveraged industry trends and best practices to deliver innovative, memorable events, selecting high-quality speakers and building comprehensive event timelines for logistical success.

I’m also known for streamlining company procedures and improving efficiency through technology solutions—such as implementing tools to streamline registration processes and enhance attendee experience. I bring integrity, discretion, and strategic planning to every project, and I’m fluent in Italian & French with conversational Spanish.
