How did you become involved in MPI?
I had a professor that introduced me to MPI as a Freshman in college and I was intrigued. I finally made the commitment to join two years later!
What has been the most exciting moment or memorable thing that has happened since joining MPI?
So far, the most exciting thing that has happened to me since joining MPI has been sitting on the MPI-CAC Annual Awards Recognition Celebration Committee. I am surrounded by such intelligent, like-minded people and I look forward to chatting and learning from them each time we meet.
How did you become part of the event industry?
I have a long background of hospitality and have always been interested in the industry (I used to want to be a chef), but the moment I knew I wanted to get into events was when I got the opportunity to be the segment lead for planning a fashion show in high school.
How has MPI impacted your career?
MPI has impacted my career by allowing me to expand my network, have a community of like-minded people that I can learn and grow from, and has given me the opportunity to grow my skill set and knowledge base. I love being a part of planning the Annual Awards Recognition Celebration as I am currently in corporate events and haven’t had the opportunity to truly express my creativity.
Tell us something unique about you?
I was hired full-time at my organization as the Corporate Events Associate the summer before my last year of college. I am graduating a year early, so although I am technically a Senior graduating in May ‘18, I have only been in school for 3 years and will be 21 when I graduate. In addition to school and work, I sit on the MPI-CAC Annual Awards Recognition Celebration committee, volunteer occasionally, travel, and still manage to watch all of my Netflix shows! My next trip is to Vancouver, BC to do some personal research on the city’s sustainability initiatives including visiting different event venues and caterers. I am very interested in event management and sustainability, and how the two elements can be combined to achieve successful green events (If you have interest in this, please reach out. I would love to chat!).
