I have more than ten years of experience as an events plan-
ner in the high-tech industry, specializing in trade shows,
international travel arrangements, and fund raising. I have a
B.A. in business administration from the University of Georgia
at Atlanta, and I have earned a certificate in international
marketing at Simms Valley College. One of the accomplish-
ments I’m most proud of is hosting a dinner with our CEO and
the Georgia state governor. 110 administrators and government
officials attended the dinner, and it ran absolutely seamlessly.
I not only was able to complete the event under budget but I
also received a handwritten thank-you letter from our CEO.
Saving money on important events is just what I’d like to do for
your company.
