I am a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) and Project Management Professional (PMP) with over a decade of experience in a wide range of events including experiential brand events at festivals nationwide, virtual events and concerts, federal conferences, galas, and weddings. My core skills focus on event strategy, on-site logistics, event marketing, contract negotiation, speaker management, event design, and finances. Currently, I plan brand activations at events such as the Philadelphia Flower Show, Bite of Seattle, and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally  as well as run my own wedding planning business, Touché Special Events. My passions include fencing, where I have been competing and coaching over 20 years, music (particularly glam rock and hair metal), and my dogs.
