Exhibitor Services Team

Clear communication and problem resolution are at the core of what I do — I listen for keywords, tune into my experience, and either help the situation directly or connect the right person to assist.

I love getting to work in different cities, but Montreal holds the title for my favorite place. Outside of work, you can find me nose-deep in a thriller novel or baking. My comfort food is a big crawfish boil, what can I say?

I’ve been in the events industry for 27 years, and the best part of my job is talking with exhibitors and helping them work through the process.

I’m a lover of the natural world and a big believer that the best way to experience wildlife is in their natural habitat! My bucket list includes humpback whales, beluga whales, penguins, polar bears, bald eagles, and seals and sea lions. Ambitious, yes, but my dream vacation would check off all those boxes and more — an Alaskan cruise!

I make sure everything an exhibitor requested for their booth is ordered and ready when they arrive. I also manage onsite stress by resolving any potential issues promptly and correctly. Accuracy is everything — those real-time decisions affect how the rest of the show runs.

Outside of work, I am a professional frolicker. You’ll find me in the streets of Atlanta: frolicking through restaurants, coffee shops, parks, wherever the day takes me! The one thing that guarantees my day is the sun. If it’s out and hot and bright, we’re good!

I’ve been with AEX for over 15 years, and if you’ve met me, you already know I’m from North Jersey. A big part of what I love about my role is training and guiding our newest team members so they feel confident, enjoy what they do, and have what they need to be successful. Working in exhibitor services means I get to know our clients up close and personal, and I’m big on building relationships you can depend on when things get crazy. If I can make it happen, it’ll happen.

And when I’m not taking care of our clients or our team, the things that make me happiest are pretty simple: my granddaughter, Noraa, who always brightens my day, and a trip to the beach.

The thing I value most about this work is the human side of showsite. My approach is simple: I actively listen to understand what’s needed in each phase, because that clarity makes flawless execution possible.

People are often surprised to learn that I speak three languages and play four different instruments! When I’m not working, I’m probably making art: oil painting, sketching, and writing poetry or music. What’s guaranteed to brighten my day is music, and what I’m most obsessed with right now is my son.

I’ve been in the events industry for five years, and few things are more essential to my role than organization and flexibility — you definitely have to expect the unexpected. I help bring a client’s vision to life by listening well and asking the kinds of questions that move the process along.

My secret talent? I make scented candles.

After nearly 20 years in the events industry, my work comes down to one thing — operational trust at scale. When that’s in place, everything else follows: exhibitor satisfaction, smoother move-ins, stronger show manager relationships, better team performance.

People are often surprised by how strategic and systems-minded I am beneath my bubbly personality. I’m always quick to spot problems and solutions behind the scenes. Outside of work, my world revolves around my daughter, traveling, Lego sets, and reading. And yes, I have a secret talent: I am a trivia queen.  

My job is all about alignment: getting sales, marketing, and operations pulling in the same direction. When that clicks, everything gets easier.

I almost became a lawyer. I still build cases, challenge weak thinking, and argue for the best outcome. I just do it in business. Outside of work, I’m a puzzle person. I like figuring things out and connecting the pieces. On weekends, I’m usually outside with good people or planning my next vacation.
