What I'm looking for

I seek a role managing corporate events and travel programs where I can lead logistics, ensure pharma compliance, optimize budgets, and collaborate with vendors and cross-functional teams.

I am a resourceful, results-driven event and logistics coordinator with 5+ years managing corporate meetings, conferences, and travel programs. I deliver seamless execution that consistently exceeds client expectations.

I specialize in vendor and client relationship management, budget control, contract negotiation, and pharmaceutical compliance, and I use tools like Cvent and Concur to streamline processes. I consistently provide accurate cost estimates and troubleshoot real-time event challenges to protect program integrity.

Since 2022 I have expanded into OSP fiber design work, creating bills of materials and construction documents while ensuring quality assurance and compliance across projects. I collaborate cross-functionally to balance accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and rigorous documentation standards.

I thrive under pressure, solve problems on the fly, and lead teams during on-site execution to enhance guest experiences. I am ready to bring my blend of event logistics and technical coordination to a company that values collaboration, efficiency, and impeccable delivery.
