It is such an honor to announce that I have been named a “25 Young Event Pros to Watch in 2017-under 40” from Special Events Magazine. Every year, the Advisory Board of Special Event Magazine & The Special Event Conference and Tradeshow points out 25 young event pros —all under age 40— to throw the spotlight on their talents and plans. Thank you to Tami Forero of FortéEvents.com and Aubri Nowowiejski of Student Event Planners Association for nominating me!
