EVENT MANAGEMENT
All my years working as a television producer has given me incredible organizational skills. I can put together a small, but magical evening for a few people or a massive event for 400, handling all the details. My degree is actually in Public Relations so not only do I know how to produce the event, but I also know how to get the event noticed. This list is just a smattering of the events I've put together.
