• Director of Hospitality

  • Jun 2019 - Nov 2021

  Sadly, as the Royal Mayfair Clubhouse goes through a major rebuild (set to reopen in 2023), my role as the Director of Hospitality/Events Manager has come to an end. Loved every minute of my time at the Mayfair and thoroughly enjoyed creating lasting memories for the Royal Mayfair Members and guests. Being part of the Mayfair Executive team allowed me to let my Events experience and personality come through and I am thankful for the opportunities I had to take the Mayfair events to another level. I was able to complete my WSET Level 2 (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) during my time at the Mayfair which uncovered a passion for the wine industry. Show less

FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ National Organising Committee

• Sponsor Servicing Coordinator

  • Feb 2015 - Jul 2015

  What an amazing experience this event was for me. Not knowing a lot about FIFA or Women's Soccer, it was a huge learning curve but our local team and the FIFA reps I worked with were fantastic! It was an honour to represent Edmonton at this month-long event and am so proud of the response by Edmontonians! I was the Sponsor Servicing Coordinator but also took on the roles of Community Engagement and Marketing as the event drew near. I worked with sponsors such as Coca-Cola Ltd, Adidas, VISA, Kia and The City of Edmonton with their activation opportunities to fulfill their contracts as well as actively engage guests both in Commonwealth Stadium and the Fan Zone. I managed the Brand Protection team throughout the tournament making sure the corporate brand assets were protected and displayed in an appropriate manner. I trained and worked with a group of motivated and engaged volunteers throughout the tournament who deserve so much credit for the overall success of the tournament. Show less
