About

I love the excitement of events....the feeling of bringing people together to share ideas, learn and grow.

I am passionate about conservation of wildlife and the environment and making a positive difference in the world. 

I'm on a mission to marry these passions together for the Good of the Earth.

For the past twenty-five years I have honed my skills as an event management professional. I started my journey in college at Johnson & Wales University where I had the great fortune to gain experience through a number of internships. 

Upon graduating from JWU, I joined IDG Expo Management and worked on some of the largest tradeshows in the US including MacWorld Expo and E3 Expo. During my time here I gained experience with city-wide room blocks, hotel contracting, sponsorship and tradeshow logistics.

My next career move brought me to EH Media where I became the show director for the Electronic House Expo - a two-time winner of Tradeshow Week's Fastest 50 event.

In 2008, I became the co-founder of an event management company, AE Ventures. During my fourteen years with AEV, I further refined my skills in all areas of event management, specializing in hosted-buyer events and honing my business development skills.

In 2022 I moved out on my own to fulfill my dream of making a positive impact for the environment. And, thus I have founded Sustainable Event Strategies - dedicated to the preservation of wildlife and their natural environments.

How can I put my passion and expertise to use for your cause? Contact me to explore how we might partner for the Good of the Earth.
