About Me

Originally from Las Vegas, I am now proud to call Arizona home, where I lead the Southwest office for GlobalWorks Events DMC. I began my career in the Las Vegas events and DMC market, where I learned to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment and gained invaluable experience managing the demands of the destination. That foundation has shaped the way I approach events today, specializing in creating memorable meetings, events, and experiences across Arizona and the Southwest, backed by GlobalWorks’ nationwide and international reach. I’d love to connect at IMEX and explore how we can bring your next program to life!
