Having spent the last ten years managing all facets of event management, I have learned a lot from each project in terms of overall management, coordination, fiscal oversight, contract negotiation, multitasking, teamwork and vendor relations. Whether it be for a fortune 500 company, a school or a non-profit agency, managing events and special projects and having interpersonal relations are skill sets in which I am proficient. In my position with Vail Resorts, I also worked alongside the Keystone sales team responsible for selling the 100,000 square foot Keystone Conference Center and other Keystone venues for corporate events and weddings. I helped them prepare the contracts and worked with the Conference Services Department to ensure all details were covered. I also served as the Executive Assistant to the Director of Keystone, so I have a lot of experience in budgets, procurement, and Concur travel and expense management. One of my most intriguing projects was the Executive Leadership Forum on National Security Conference that I managed for Major General Barbara Faulkenberry from the conception of the event through the final attendee survey. It allowed me to grow in multitasking and learning how to stay calm when things did not go as planned, as I had to navigate how best to collaborate with high level international executives and the highest levels of the military. While ensuring all 50 executives’ needs were met, I realized that I love every aspect of white glove customer service and client engagement. I created and maintained the website for the Executive Leadership Forum on National Security; I made and uploaded video content to our Superior Chamber website when I worked there; and I maintain and update the websites for my association management clients. I also use Constant Contact regularly for communication and email marketing campaigns. As for social media, I have come to realize how essential it is to understand the importance of using your influencers are and connectivity. I am self-motivated and am good at prioritization and time management whether it be for a community event, an intimate “dine around” program, or a FAM (familiarization with Keystone) weekend. Along with my event and project management background, I have experience with membership management systems, Salesforce, website design, brochure/invitation design and am very experienced in Work, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint and QuickBooks.
