ABOUT ME
Background
I am originally from South Dakota, where I first discovered my passion for events. Growing up, I naturally gravitated toward the role of organizer, whether it was planning trips with friends, leading in student council, stepping up in clubs, or coordinating group projects. Without even realizing it, I was building the foundation for my passion in events.
​
Over time, I transitioned those natural skills into professional goals, confirming my interest through internships in event and project management. Along the way, I earned my degree in Psychology and am now pursuing my Master’s in Marketing, both of which give me valuable tools for understanding people, communication, and strategy as I work toward a career in event management.
