Can you share a bit about your background and what led you to join Special Gathering.

My background in librarianship, education, and ministry has shaped the way I lead- with structure, empathy, and purpose. I felt like my life's calling and purpose aligned with Dani and her vision for Special Gathering. She is a talented and creative person who inspired me to join her team. Since then, I have had the opportunity to meet more creative and dynamic individuals from my team and through the events I organize and manage, who continue to inspire and encourage me. This amazing opportunity gave me the platform to allow my skills and talents to shine within the scope of being an event project manager.

What has been your most memorable project or accomplishment during your time here, and why was it significant to you?

My most memorable project was working in partnership with Grantmakers in Health to produce their 2024 Annual Conference. It was significant to me because I met so many people who were interested in addressing health equity and wellness within their communities.
