I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Event Management at the Rosen College of Hospitality. I have gained knowledge and experience in nonprofit events, catering, tourism, restaurant management, and wedding sales. I am passionate about working with others and leading different projects and tasks. The people I have had the pleasure of working with in the past have acknowledged me as a hard worker who is driven. I am also honored to say I hold the Vice President of Public Relations title for my sorority. It has challenged me to learn about time management, how to solve problems efficiently, and most importantly how to delegate. I have developed skills in event marketing, social media marketing, customer service, sales, catering, and restaurant management. I am excited for whatever the future holds for me in the event industry!
