Event Planning
As a seasoned event planner, I have planned and organized all types of events in New York, NY, Jackson and Hattiesburg, MS, and Austin, TX that build visibility and foster relationships. My event experience spans small business, corporate/finance, religious organizations, and arts non-profits. I have experience with the following:
Venue sourcing, vendor negotiation, contracts
Travel & transportation logistics
Pre-production volunteer and staff coordination, on-site staffing & coordination
AV, production, and technical planning and hiring
Workshops, activations, and team-building design
Materials preparations, signage
Event marketing
Post-event reporting and ROI review
Here are examples of events that I have organized, produced, and/or led:
Student recitals, group classes, learning environments (NYC/ Jackson, MS/ Austin, TX)
Training sessions, team meetings, town halls, board meetings (NYC / Austin)
Opera and musical theater events (Hattiesburg, MS / NYC)
Cultivation and fundraising events (Jackson/ Hattiesburg / NYC / Austin)
Large-scale arts events (Jackson / Austin)
Student Recitals
As a music teacher and support staff to teachers, I have had the opportunity to plan performing opportunities for all ages. Student recitals involve the teaching and learning preparation, coordinating logistics with the host organization and students performing, preparation of materials such as music for a pianist and printed programs, outward facing communications/invites, any audio/visual needs including livestream, and donor cultivation for continued programming.
