I have learned a lot about the ever-changing event industry. I truly enjoy building relationships with my clients and always go above and beyond when it comes to customer service. I love my LSU Tigers and can often be found at the local sports bar cheering on my beloved New Orleans Saints!

    Product Manager, Events

    Cadmium

    I graduated from Towson University in 2016 with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. During my time at Towson, I worked for the Housing Residence Life Department and loved helping students transition to living away from home for the first time and putting on many events for Res Life. I found that I loved being behind the scene in the success of those around me. Working on the engineering team here at Cadmium, I am able to continue what I love by being behind the scenes for making all your events a success.

    Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, sweet son, and our shy pup, Winston. We love going on walks and explore new towns, especially if there is a winery. We're wanna be sommeliers, so we'll take any chance we get to learn more about wine in the region. We also enjoy flipping houses and bringing life to forgotten places. If you don't catch us with power tools or wine in our hands, you'll most likely find us catching up on the newest movies and hit shows.
