EVENT MANAGEMENT

Events are my passion. I cut my teeth producing live television shows from live-to-tape programming such as Sally Jesse Raphael to the Tony Awards and Daytime EMMYs. I can put together a small, but magical evening for a few people or a massive event for 3000, 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. See more of the events I’ve overseen on this page. All were overseen by me.
