RESUME
I am a University of Colorado grad who loves learning about experiential marketing, design, and connecting people to brands. I believe that real connections come through experiences and that’s what I try to create in all of my work. I am constantly learning and finding new ways to improve. I love seeing others succeed and am always willing to go the extra mile.
I currently work at Charlene Kate Events, a Scottsdale-based boutique agency offering event marketing strategy and end-to-end logistics management to diverse businesses for online and offline brand experiences.
