The BasicsI currently work here…

BeginningsI started out here (and here, and here).

How does one get into event planning specifically geared towards university members? I’d like to think my upbringing had something to do with it.

BeginningsBetween 3 states I attended 13 different schools while growing up. As a kid I learned to be adaptable and connect quickly with others.

My one constant, my ability to establish new relationships at a rapid pace (and take awkward yearbook photos).

EducationI attended the University of Northern Colorado, where I planned events for groups

like Alpha Phi, Panhellenic Council and the Student Representative Council.
