The reason for my passion for events …..

 I started my event management career at the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce in 1999.  This is where my interest in event planning began!

In 2006 I landed the job as Executive Director of the award winning Fayetteville Dogwood Festival   The organization produced 7 events per year that include:

 Signature Spring event held in April - 250,000+ attendees

Fayetteville After 5 - FREE spring and summer concert series - 2,000 - 8,000 attendees per event

Dogwood Fall Festival - 50,000+ attendees

Miss Fayetteville Dogwood Festival - 4 queens crowned each April - Fayetteville's largest pageant

 

Since 2018 I have lived in North Myrtle Beach and worked as Development Director for McLeod Health producing fundraising events and expanding donor relations for our community hospital.

 

In March of 2022 I decided that I wanted to leave the corporate world and pursue my passion for event production and project management.  I am looking forward to expanding my portfolio of events in my "new" community. 

Thus far I’ve collaborated on the following projects in Horry County:

  • Event manager for a local county Commissioner campaign hosting 25 events over a three-month period.

  • Event coordinator and sponsorship sales for Rumble in the Jungle - a King Mackerel fishing tournament.

  • Currently serving as President of the Board of Directors for the Little River Chamber of Commerce which oversees 2 community events – The Blue Crab Festival and The Shrimp Festival.

  • Catered several HOA Annual meetings and events.

As you can see ... I've been THE Go To Girl in my local communities and I am eager to help those that need my services.
