Launching my career in New York City at Atlantic Records /Time Warner Music was a dream come true. Since then, I have earned respect and recognition by delivering exceptional service and a professional approach to meeting/event design, planning, management and operations.  My experience focuses on: 

Strategic Event Design | Planning | Management | Execution | Operations

Site Evaluation & Selection

Project Management

Budget Management

Contract Negotiations

Vendor Management

Event Logistics

What I Think…


“My approach to event leadership is grounded in strategic thinking, operational discipline, and strong execution. I’m at my best when bringing structure to complexity, aligning stakeholders, establishing effective governance and processes, anticipating risk, and leading teams to deliver with confidence.

I believe events should do more than run well. They should serve a clear organizational purpose, deepen engagement, and move people toward action. That requires thoughtful strategy, the right operational infrastructure, and an unwavering focus on the experience and its intended impact.

It’s my sincere hope that something you’ve experienced will inspire you to action and change.

That’s the work I lead.”
