Name

Employer
Saint Mary's College
Title
Assistant Director of Special Events
Hometown
Frankenmuth, MI (90 miles north of Detroit and home
of the world's largest Christmas store)
Tell Us About Your Job
I am responsible for the sale and management of
events which bring an external audience to the
campus of Saint Mary's College. I manage Reunion,
summer camps, conferences, meetings, banquets, and
retreats and coordinate their housing, meals, space
needs, tech and AV needs, contracting, invoicing,
and liability issues. I also rent out space in our
theaters for dance recitals, theatre performances
and music concerts. My job is different every day
and is always interesting. I even get to plan
weddings and wedding receptions.
Hobbies/Interests
In my spare time, I love to dance. I have taught tap
dancing classes for over 10 years and I recently
became certified and started teaching Zumba. I also
enjoy tailgating and going to Notre Dame football
and hockey games, traveling, and spending time with
my friends and family.
Tell Us About Your Experience With YPN:
I joined YPN when I moved to this area a few
years ago to meet new people. When you go to the YPN
events, it's easy to just hang out with your friends
and talk to people you already know, but I always
try to remember how hard it is to meet new people
and make friends when you move to a new area. I try
to talk to new people at each event and welcome
people into our community.
