About Kendra Boone

With over ten years of experience in event management and planning, I have a proven track record of delivering successful events for various clients and organizations. I have a strong creative flair and a keen eye for detail, as well as excellent negotiation, problem-solving, and communication skills. I am passionate about creating memorable experiences and exceeding expectations.In my previous roles, I have demonstrated my ability to increase sales, manage budgets, coordinate vendors, train staff, and ensure smooth execution of events. For example, as the Director of Events at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club, I increased the sales of weddings and events by within one year, thanks to my strategic planning and marketing efforts. I also supervised a team of 10-15 event staff and oversaw the billing and invoicing processes. I am now looking for a new opportunity to apply my talent and expertise to a challenging and rewarding position in the event industry.
