INVOLVEMENT/ROLE(S): Event Planning Assistant, Social Media Strategist, & Researcher
I started out at the Extraordinary Events Initiative (EEI) as a Researcher. My purpose during this time was to research current trends and observe the growth of the event industry and where it was going! With my background in science, I have a strong foundation of research and have a curious mindset of learning new concepts. Because of this, I am currently writing three research articles!
Identifying Engagement Factors Critical to ROI of Learning at Events
Identifying factors necessary to optimize learning in short-term learning-intensive environments.
Analysis of Food Safety Among Vendors within Outdoor and Indoor Events
I then transitioned into EEI’s Event Planning Assistant and Social Media Strategist. I worked alongside Dr. K and the other members of EEI to design experiential moments for event students and educators. In addition to curating social media strategies, posts, and podcasts to spread tips and tricks within the event industry.
