Bio

I joined EdTA in February 2020 and am responsible for setting and executing EdTA’s annual event strategy including planning, budgeting, and managing all aspects of and logistics for the International Thespian Festival (ITF) and the Theatre Education Conference.  I am passionate about live events and delivering meaningful experiences for our members.

I bring more than 15 years of event management experience for member-based associations and entertainment organizations to EdTA. I previously worked for the Sports Event and Tourism Association as VP of membership and events, Pacers Sports & Entertainment as an account executive in season ticket and group sales, and The Ohio State University Department of Athletics in event presentation and fan experience.

I have a Masters Degree in Sport (Event) Management and a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration/Marketing and minor in Spanish, both from The Ohio State University.  I am a Buckeye for life!

My husband and I live in Cincinnati, OH with our young children who keep me busy when I am not planning events for EdTA.
