Events have the ability to mold our lives and the lives of those around us. Having the opportunity to be a part of a company’s business growth, a family celebration, or an organization's movement for change is profound. It is humbling to experience the impact a well-planned and executed event can have on our lives and futures.
I enthusiastically bring more than 20 years of hospitality experience to the NACE leadership board. My mission is to become a community connector, encouraging collaboration efforts, to enable our members to become innovators and trendsetters in our industry.
