SHARE A FUN FACT ABOUT YOU
I love to organize (as most of us do in this industry!) but have passed this trait onto my three children. So now we have whole days some weekends when we just listen to music and organize stuff!
 
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU: 
I’ve been with my current employer for 17 years and keeping up my relationships with my clients and my colleagues motivates me. I also love running a facility and coming up with creative ideas to improve operations is always intriguing to me.
 
ACCOMPLISHMENT/ACHIEVEMENT YOU MOST PROUD OF
The majority of my team in the Event Center has been with me for many years, some over 15 years! I am proud of the respect we have for one another and the way we support each other and work together as a team.
