A 12+ years professional in the Events Industry and avid Data enthusiast.

Events and Technology have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I would watch the Behind the Scenes videos and Directors Commentary because I loved to discover how movies were made. Their mix use of technology and problem solving would fascinate me. Eventually I would work behind the scenes in the Event Industry and spend my free time working on a vast array of Tech projects.

I began working in the event industry in early 2010 with my first fundraiser. Raising just $1,000 for local flood victims, I was hooked. Soon after I was invited to work on a local, grass roots, music concert; we had to build our own stages at the venue for the event. Then in 2012, I co-founded Hakuna Matata Fundraising LLC, just to make it official.

I attended Johnson & Wales University in Providence as a Sports, Entertainment & Event Management Major. Here I was connected with event professionals and began to freelance for any event company that would take me. I expanded my Audio/Visual skills, built upon my ability to lead, learned how to manage others and realized what it took to be a true Event Professional.

Today I’m a Business Intelligence & Data Analyst in the Food Supply chain space, I freelance for various event companies and provide Data Analytic services for the Hospitality industry. My free time is spent building drones, working on home security and automations, creating 3D Printer projects and editing my one second everyday videos.
