What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and growth.

I am a results-driven Project Event Coordinator with over 6 years of experience in planning and executing high-impact events. My expertise lies in managing multifaceted projects, overseeing logistics, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver outstanding events. I possess strong analytical and organizational skills, with a proven track record of meeting deadlines and staying within budget. I am dedicated to leveraging my event experience and project management standards to contribute to a dynamic team and lead innovative initiatives.

In my recent role at Meeting Management Services, I developed and managed comprehensive timelines for large-scale conferences, overseeing a $1.3 million budget and implementing effective expense controls. My ability to coordinate all event logistics, including venue selections and catering, has been instrumental in ensuring successful event execution. I have also led cross-functional teams using ClickUp to streamline project management and enhance collaboration, which has significantly improved stakeholder satisfaction.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated excellent communication and leadership abilities, dedicated to fostering collaboration and driving project success. My experience as an Executive Assistant has further honed my organizational skills, allowing me to manage complex calendars and coordinate travel arrangements efficiently. I am passionate about creating memorable experiences and continuously seek opportunities for improvement in every project I undertake.
