"Kelly comes to the table with an amazing work ethic and an awesome attitude. Every time I have hired Kelly she has jumped right into the project and manages both the event and the client beautifully. Her ability to adjust to any situation and learn is uncanny and I love working with her."
Catlin Choate
Founder at CC Events
"Its rare to work with a talent like Kelly. When it comes to events she brings practical experience, a great attitude, an incredible work ethic, and some Chicago street smarts. On my biggest and most difficult events, I will always call her. She has helped me manage and coordinate events for 30K+ attendees or ultra-high touch corporate meetings. I especially respect her ability to communicate with a large team of stakeholders and communicate their needs to a production team."

“Kelly is the definition of a polished professional event producer. Having her as a leader on my team was a wonderful experience, not only because of the quality of her work but also in being able to work next to her on a daily basis. Kelly's attention to detail is unmatched, regardless of the program size. Her years of experience allow her to pull ideas from many different programs she has worked on, and this also shows when it comes to on site execution and vendor management. She's done it all, and still clearly loves the business. “

“It was my pleasure to work with Kelly for three years at Groupon on Experiential Marketing. Part of the key to her success on those breakthrough campaigns was Kelly's managerial savvy to make the creative team her strategic partner to help arrive at the best possible creative product. From the biggest brand booth at the New York City Wine & Food Festival to a giveaway tote bag at South Beach Wine & Food Festival, every component was integrated to deliver on the campaign strategy and engage festival goers with the Groupon brand in fresh and unexpected ways.”
