Connecting Events, Programs, and Strategy to Create Lasting Impact.

My experience brings together events, education, trade shows, marketing, and leadership across medical and healthcare associations, B2B and non-profit. I turn big goals into well-run events: bringing together speakers, venues, technology, and budgets to deliver engaging experiences and measurable results. From building trusted partnerships to managing budgets and guiding teams, I connect the big picture with the details that make it work.

Strategic Thinking.
A Personal Touch.

Successful events depend on clear direction and careful coordination. I bring both—building trusted relationships while keeping the details moving.

  1. Plan the Program

    Work with leadership and planning committees to understand priorities, clarify goals, and shape a practical plan.

  2. Bring Everyone Together

    Get teams, faculty, vendors, and volunteers on the same page with shared expectations and clear communication.

  3. Run the Event

    Keep the event on track with financial discipline, consistent workflows, and technology that makes the attendee experience better.

Comfortable with Complexity.

I pair hands-on program technology skills with a focus on attendees, sound judgment, and reliable delivery.
