EVENTS

One of my favorite things to do is to imagine events that can bring people together. From dining events to panel discussions, there are so many amazing people out there that have a story to tell or a skill to share.

PAST EVENTS

These are some of the events that I have created largely through Hospitalented. Others are through volunteer roles.
