What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values community engagement and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As an experienced Event Manager and Producer, I specialize in designing, organizing, and executing dynamic virtual and live events. My focus is on community engagement, efficient volunteer coordination, and impactful training programs. I thrive in environments where I can bring people together and create memorable experiences that foster connection and learning.

In my current role as a Training and Events Coordinator, I manage budgets, contract speakers, and oversee communication with registrants. My previous experience as a Community Events Coordinator allowed me to coordinate interdepartmental events and engage with community organizations, enhancing my skills in logistics coordination and audience engagement. I am passionate about creating events that not only meet organizational goals but also resonate with participants.
