I intend to be a lifelong student, interested in various fields such as business management, event planning, organizational behavior, and health.  I'm very active in the meeting and event industry, and still work with my alma mater, University of Delaware, to help students learn more about the industry.

My day job is a Meeting Manager for Produce Marketing Association, which is a Trade Association for the entire produce industry (Field to Fork). I work with a team of people to plan our annual convention and tradeshow, Fresh Summit, as well as, a golf tournament, leadership symposium, international events, and other regional events. I'm also on the Board of Directors for the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of PCMA, and I'm a student at University of Delaware pursuing my MBA and a M.S in Organizational, Effectiveness, Development, and Change.

Phew!

I'm very active on various social media sites including Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.  My tweets revolve around the Produce Industry, Meeting and Event Planning, and Healthy Living.  I am also trying to get the Greater Phila Chapter of PCMA's social media off the ground.

In my spare time I am trying to learn to cook. I love to hike - go to the beach - read historical fiction and mystery novels - and watch movies.
