EXPERIENCE & EVENT DESIGN
The first mega-event I ever threw was for my 16th birthday, where I invited the entire marching band to my house. So it wasn’t a surprise that I continued to host events as an adult, in my professional life.
Nearly 20 years later, my event work has drawn celebrities, increased client revenue & even led to marriages for guests who met at the events. (My sister included!)
Event Experience
Proximity
Founded this faith-based social organization in 2018 for young professionals in New York City. Coordinated 2-3 social events a month including happy hours, day trips, hiking trips and volunteer activities. Grew to 500 members within its first six months. It’s now being run by a great team.
