What is the single most important thing attendees discover at your session?
The ability to analyze their own events to determine the wisdom of moving outdoors, along with a list of items to consider during the process.

Where do you find inspiration?
I reserve a few minutes during each of my events to stand back and watch the faces of the attendees. Seeing their joy, excitement, and personal investment in the event continues to inspire me.

What excites you most about the year ahead in the events industry or your personal business?
There’s a strong potential that the economy will begin to return to normal, which is great news for the events industry. Personally, business continues to grow and we are excited to be adding another full-time employee and expanding into a larger office!

What is the best piece of business advice you’ve ever been given?
No one is irreplaceable.
