In my professional experience, I have a proven track record of successfully implementing innovative event and marketing plans and initiatives to drive brand development and client retention. I also excel at planning, teamwork and staying within a budget. I am known by colleagues for working in high pressure and fast paced environments while applying creative problem solving, multi-tasking and outstanding presentation and leadership talents. My dedication to success translates well into an Event Planner/Scheduler I position with Florida Gulf Coast University.
In my previous positions, I have planned many types of successful events each with its own unique goals. I have experience targeting the correct audience, developing sponsor relationships, scheduling travel and working with various groups to ensure a successful event. My experience spans from conception to setup and tear down and finally event reporting. The events I have worked on include industry tradeshows, charitable events, business training, meetings and award banquets.
