Hi! I'm a professional strategic event planner with over 10 years experience in corporate trade show & conference planning & execution and freelance consulting work for various International clients. I am experienced in managing many projects & deadlines simultaneously, as well as working in different time zones so you can expect me to be efficient and easy to work with. I enjoy agenda and content creation and I am very happy to help you develop your brand story or work within your guidelines. I am a creative and analytic person by nature and would love to help you find solutions to any event challenges you face. I have worked for a fast-growth International Event Organizer in North America and Europe and have consulted Global Brands and Non-Profits on event and marketing strategy. I have been responsible for marketing budgets of over $100k and internal teams of 30+, on event projects worth $200,000-$3m+. I have worked with venues and suppliers across the world, including New York, LA, Las Vegas, Miami, London and more. I have created business plans, marketing strategy and content calendars for many different events and industries. I have created brands, content and managed projects and teams from start to finish. After holding job titles such as Marketing & Operations Manager, and most recently Marketing Director for the majority of my career, I took the decision to work freelance earlier this year. Since then I have loved working on shorter term projects, working with different clients and understanding more about their objectives. I am very passionate about the event industry and always looking for new projects and experiences!
