Industry Specialties Music Entertainment Fashion Non-Profits Professional Summary I am a professional event planner with a strong background in sales and marketing, specializing in branding and public relations for companies of all sizes since . My unique ability to attract attendees to any kind of event, from non-profit functions to corporate affairs, sets me apart. I go above and beyond by following up with attendees, opening new relationships and opportunities for the companies I work with. I am passionate about giving back to the community, and currently focus on non-profit event planning and project management. Attendees who come to events I coordinate leave feeling happy, knowing they took away a great deal of knowledge and had a good time doing so. My latest event was the Orange County Advertising Federation Annual Beach Bash and charity event. Each year, we choose a non-profit and have a raffle to raise funds. We raised a substantial amount of money for the Newport Beach Surfrider Foundation this year. Our sponsors included Monster Energy, Schecter Guitar Research, and Coffin Guitar Cases. I was in charge of promotions and sponsor prizes. Live music and a fun, energetic crowd made this a great event for everyone involved. A little more about me...

I am service oriented, paying close attention to individual needs, as well as big picture goals.
