Q: Did you always see yourself working in hospitality? Did you have any other dream jobs growing up?
A: Not at all! I first wanted to be a veterinarian because I love animals, but I realized that wasn’t for me. I even tried Criminal Justice since my uncle is a SWAT captain in Cambridge, MA, but that wasn’t for me either.
Discovering Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Management at Indiana University was a perfect fit. I love the creativity, hands-on work, and that no two days are the same. It’s all about unique ideas, organization, and bringing experiences to life.
Q: What educational or work experiences led you to want to work in events?
A: I interned in food and beverage at The Brookline Country Club and with a global DMC, which gave me a behind-the-scenes look at how events come together. I loved being part of the action and seeing the detail involved in making everything run smoothly.
What I love most about this industry is its creativity and people-focus. You’re constantly collaborating, bringing new ideas to life, and making things happen. It’s fast-paced, fun, and rewarding to create moments people remember forever.
Q: What is something people might not know about you?
A: I played competitive volleyball and was recruited to play at the college level. I also have a golden doodle named Teddy Fenway after Fenway Park!
Q: Where do you think you can see the best view of Boston?
A: I love Fan Pier Park in the Seaport District. It is right on the water and has the prettiest view of the city, especially at sunset. Whether I am up above or walking along the harbor, it always reminds me why I love living in Boston.
Q: What is your favorite restaurant in Boston?
A: My all-time favorite dinner spot is Lab 13 in Chestnut Hill. It is a handroll sushi place that is seriously to die for. I have also been loving Blank Street Coffee on Newbury Street in Boston; their lattes are amazing!
Q: What is your dream event or destination activity you would want to execute for a client?
A: A magical winter event in Switzerland! Snowy mountains, cozy alpine charm, an outdoor ice-skating rink, twinkling lights, warm drinks, and elegant touches to create an unforgettable winter wonderland.
Q: Outside of work hours, what is something you enjoy doing?
A: Cooking, baking, running, and spending time with friends. These activities keep me balanced and energized, whether I’m trying a new recipe, catching up with friends, or getting in a good run.
Q: What is most exciting to you about joining the team at Corinthian Events?
A: Corinthian Events stood out for its creativity and attention to detail. They produce unique, high-quality events; the exact environment I was looking for.
I thrive in collaborative settings and admire how CE values innovation and teamwork. I’m excited to learn from such a talented team and grow within a respected company that pushes boundaries and creates unforgettable experiences. Being part of that is truly inspiring.
