My Story
Â
In 2008, I added Sponsor Management to my services beginning with the New York City Wine & Food Festival. Since then I have managed sponsor fulfillment and advancement at many award-winning festivals including the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, Harlem EatUp, New York City Wine & Food Festival, and Life is Beautiful music festival in Downtown Las Vegas. Â
​
With exposure to sponsorship integration at hundreds of events, I have seen countless opportunities to weave sponsors into events to increase both the revenue and guest experience. Conversations with many event hosts made me realize that not everyone looks at the world through a sponsorship lens which led me to add Sponsorship Consulting to my services. Â
I love events and the relationships I've made with my clients and sponsor contacts. There are many colleagues and sponsor brands that I work with year-over-year that have become close friends and festival family. I'm excited to work with new event partners to bring the sponsor magic to the table!
