These affiliations keep me engaged with industry trends, expand my professional network, and support my commitment to continuous learning and leadership within the meetings and events community.My career has been shaped by a diverse range of experiences that continue to inform and enhance the work I do today.Previously, I held a sales role with a global dealership, collaborating with teams to design commercial workspaces tailored to clients in industries such as technology, manufacturing, medical, hospitality, and education. This role sharpened my ability to understand complex needs and deliver customized solutions across a broad client base.My background also includes hospitality management and training, as well as high-end event coordination and planning—experiences that strengthened my attention to detail, adaptability, and guest-centric mindset.Additionally, I was part of the development of a private clinical program for children with autism, an initiative that deepened my understanding of compassionate engagement and empathy.The skills I rely on today—strategic thinking, relationship building, and a solutions-driven mindset—are rooted in these varied and meaningful chapters of my professional journey.
