I lead complex conferences, trade shows, and large-scale programs from strategy through on-site execution.

At the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, I provide strategic direction for large-scale programs and events, including Commencement and Maryland Day.

I build operational systems, quality standards, and centralized procedures while supervising, mentoring, recruiting, and training team members. I’ve also led day-to-day execution of conferences, meetings, and programs for students, alumni, faculty, and staff.

Through LMTD Events, I deliver event consulting, technical and logistical support, compliance oversight, attendee management, and planning for healthcare, finance, nonprofit, and corporate organizations. My work includes vendor contracting, registration management, on-site staffing, and complex multi-day events.

I bring more than 22 years of event operations experience, including generating $400K in new event revenue and directing 85+ high-end events for up to 500+ guests. I combine budget and P&L oversight, stakeholder engagement, and event technology to deliver organized, high-quality experiences.
