I joined Cvent in January of 2022 and am so excited to be here! With my years of experience in event planning and community management, I am looking forward to having the opportunity to support you in the Cvent Community. Some things that I enjoy in my free time are playing and watching sports, anything outdoors, and spending time with Danny my Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. I live in Florida and am fortunate enough to see a lot of sunshine and enjoy beach days all year long!
