Owner-Lead Wedding Coordinator

Administration & Clerical

Working in Marketing and Event Coordination is my passion, and a career as a Manager is my ambition. I have been a lead coordinator for over a dozen weddings in Orange County, as well as several other professional corporate and municipal events. I’ve also worked in retail since I was 16, which has given me the experience to be strong on the sales floor. My detail-oriented listening skills and empathetic people management skills further contribute to my leadership abilities.  I would like a job with an experienced and hard-working staff, in an environment in which I can apply my professional experience.
