Sculpture Fields at Montage Park , Chattanooga

May 2013 - August 2014

The Sculpture Fields at Montage Park is an outdoor sculpture museum that opened in April of 2016. As the social media and marketing manager, I helped to create marketing materials for digital print and press to gain exposure for the park, attract donors, and build our community presence. I also conceptualized and planned events for the park to raise funding and awareness which resulted in offering free public access to all guests daily.

Victoria Love Events and Staffing, LLC , Chattanooga

February 2013 - July 2016

As an event planner with Victoria Love Events, LLC, I planned, executed, and acted as the communications contact for all clients. I oversaw this process from start to finish - from the first introduction with the client for the initial consultation, to creating invoices and contracts, and then throughout the planning process. I scheduled all vendor meetings, helped to negotiate budgetary pricing and managed clients budgets, finalized payments, created logistical timelines, and venue set up, all within the requirements of the contracts.
