I’m a solution finder. When my clients walk through the doors, they can be confident they are in the right place at the right time for a wildly successful event.

I volunteered in college for many campus events and served as a team member in planning regional and national events, such as the Mid-American Greek Council Association Annual Conference and the Alpha Lambda Delta Leadership Conference. It was inspiring to see how people from different places could gather and learn from each other. After transferring to the University of Central Florida, I completed my degree while working at Walt Disney World. My burgeoning career in parks entertainment led me to Disney Event Productions, where I witnessed the power of bringing people together to enlighten, entertain and engage.

After a cross-country move, the MPI Rocky Mountain Chapter has become my new home. The community here is very welcoming and supportive in helping each other achieve his or her personal best. I’m so glad I took the opportunity to learn, grow and get involved, and I am proud to now serve as chapter president.

While I’ve traded my Central Florida mouse for a Rocky Mountain bear, I still harness the magic and power of meetings to move industries and communities forward. Every meeting can change the world – just like MPI and the meetings industry have changed my life!
