What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my event management and technical skills to drive project success and continuous learning.

As a seasoned event and print professional, I leverage my strong organizational and time-management skills to drive event management and project success. With a commitment to continuous learning and improvement, I adapt to new opportunities and refine my personal workflow.

With a background in technical research and printing, I have honed my skills in event management, project coordination, and technical writing. My experience in the events industry has equipped me with the ability to lead administrative tasks, develop conference schedules, and communicate effectively with speakers and sponsors.

In addition to my events expertise, I possess a strong technical skillset, including proficiency in Adobe Graphic Design Suite, Microsoft Office Suite, and WordPress. My experience in prepress, photography, and web design/layout has allowed me to effectively manage vinyl record production, design advertisement campaigns, and maintain online presence.
