   I lead the planning, coordination, and execution of major fundraising events, including CASL’s annual gala, as well as community events.

Overseeing event budgets, timelines, and logistics, I ensure seamless execution while collaborating with vendors and venues for success. I handle event-specific software platforms for ticketing and donations, and organize auctions and raffles from strategy to fulfillment. I build strong volunteer teams and partner with marketing, development, and finance teams to create promotional materials and balance revenues.
