What I'm looking for

I seek a senior event or logistics role where I can lead end-to-end event strategy, optimize budgets, improve cross-functional collaboration, and deliver measurable attendee engagement and ROI.

I am a Certified Meeting Professional with over nine years of experience planning and executing high-impact events, conferences, and corporate meetings. I specialize in end-to-end logistics, vendor negotiation, and budget management for events ranging from regional conferences to a $3M sales kickoff for 750+ attendees.

Throughout my career I have led cross-functional teams, integrated project management tools like Asana and Cvent, and delivered measurable cost savings and operational efficiencies—negotiating thousands in vendor savings and cutting pre-event planning time by 30% in prior roles.

I thrive in fast-paced environments where executive alignment, attendee engagement, and flawless on-site production matter. I bring a strategic mindset, proven ROI focus, and a track record of scaling events and launching successful flagship programs.
