With The Right Skills
Being an Event Producer for a live events company requires putting together and running point for craft beer festivals as well as food and wine festivals that attracts thousands of attendees. ​The responsibilities include, but are not limited to :
​​
As an Associate Producer at an entertainment agency booking live celebrity tours across the country, my experience here involved:​
​
Additionally, my TV/film experience has been with the local ABC affiliate station WTEN, Columbia Pictures, Focus Features, and other local productions. It gave me the basis of being organized, coordinating schedules, thinking on my feet by making split second decisions and always going above and beyond to make everything come together successfully.
​
All of these require knowing an agreed plan and the ability to make it happen while overcoming problems and mishaps. Creating a personalized experience is much more rewarding.
Absolute Collaborations is focused on making your special occasion exceptional by having years of experience building the necessary qualities of event planning.

Thanks for checking out my page! I’ve worked nationwide with many different venue types and venue staff, clients, bands, photographers, vendors, talent, producers and beyond... I also know what it’s like to find your soulmate. Trying to convey that special bond within a unique celebration can be daunting. Dealing with every little detail to make it perfect can start to chip away at the bliss, then question if you are making the best decisions. My background involves events with thousands of attendees, managing a crew, being responsible for live on-air TV content, and assisting with feature film productions. Your event would receive a heightened focus because of my flexible and demanding experience. Wedding assistance starts with day of coordination and can expand from there. Any other planning and organization needs can be catered to as well. I also enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, staying active, checking out local restaurants, live music, and cuddling my twos pups and hubby.
