ONE THING YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME: This may not be surprising but I have secretly always dreamt of being in or writing a musical. I know I seem incredibly shy;-) but I love to sing and dance whenever I have the chance. Jazz hands, the Charleston, and a Broadway tune, forget it!! I am there!

WHY DID I JOIN NACE: I joined NACE so I could be a part of something great in the industry. NACE has not only started great professional relationships for me but amazing friendships as well. I love how NACE isn't just another networking group... It is an amazing platform that has helped take me to the next level

Why did you join NACE: I wanted to immerse myself in an industry that I love, so I did just that by researching professional associations and networking with others. I soon discovered NACE was a good fit. Food and beverage is a sector within the tourism industry and NACE is the oldest and largest in the catering industry. In the future, I hope to be a catering/Events Manager.

One thing most people don't know about you: I have traveled to Australia, Dubai and Abu Dhabi and most Sunday mornings you can find me at the nursing home improving the quality of life for those who are sick and or lonely.
