“The Hustle”
Job Title: Senior Administrative Assistant
Professional Superpower: Being detailed oriented
My primary role in the events industry is: Event Coordinator
Years in the events industry: one
To me, being an event hustler means: To get out and put your best foot forward. Join an industry organization, volunteer for various events and build relationships. Look for positions where you can grow. Give 110% on every project whether it’s small or epic. Try to have fun and enjoy what you are doing.
The top 2 most surprising things I’ve learned about the events industry since starting are:
- How small this industry is in terms of people we know/meet.
- It’s not how big your wallet is but how big your imagination is.
How did you get your start in the events industry? I planned my destination wedding in Nassau, Bahamas. This was a 3 day event with 52 attendees and it sparked an innate talent that I didn’t know existed. That was the beginning of my passion.
My biggest event industry pet peeve is: Lack of team work and motivation.
“No such thing as TMI”
One thing that would really surprise people to learn about me is: I wanted to be a beautician from the time I could walk until I was 13 years old.
You can only keep 2 albums in your entire music collection -those albums would be:

10yr old me thought I’d grow up to be: A beautician to the stars.
