I have worked on a large variety of meetings and events from both the planner and vendor/venue side of the table. My programs have ranged from small high-end dinners, to public festivals to large conventions. I am a friendly, articulate professional. I am not easily flustered and appreciate that events are fluid, and that opportunities arise.
