My passion for the past 15+ years has been the meetings & events industry. Having personally mentored 50+ event profs, I still say "Mondays are my favorite."
​​
I'm a fan of constantly evolving and always learning and believe who you surround yourself with affects everything.
My passion for business development, sales, and marketing led me to speak on the topics to industry organizations locally & nationally, virtually & in person.
