Originally from California, I have lived all over the United States, but currently live in Washington, DC with my husband and 3 year old daughter. In my previous career, I was a Conference Manager for a third-party company, planning annual meetings for multiple associations including: managing their speakers, logistics, and registration processes. I was in this position for 6 years and in this time worked within Cadmium and was able to streamline the call for abstracts, speaker management, and conference websites. I have 2 cats.

Born and raised in Southern Maryland and graduated from the University of Maryland in 1998. Began my career as a meeting planner in Washington, DC., had the opportunity to work with some amazing meeting planners at Hanley Wood and Courtesy Associates. After having my son, I relocated to Raleigh and worked for NC State University. While I was a conference manager with the university, we used the CadmiumCD product.
