I have vast experience on boards and committees since moving to the Keys In 2006. 1 also have vast experience in the planning
and execution of both community and tourism driven events. i understand the marketing side of planning a successful event and
the costs associated with them. I believe I could bring valuable insight to the committee on the event funding side as well as the
marketing plan developed for Key Largo. I have been involved with Light Up Key Largo and the Fourth of July Parade during my
time at the chamber as well as the Bogart Film festival. As a director for the Friends I have been involved with producing shows
and lecture series' as well as scheduling the Center's use. I have done multiple fundraising events for the Preservation foundation
as a previous board member and have been recently re elected to the board. Through my employer I have been very involved in
many community organizations and their events.
