Bio
Niki Jorgensen
Corinne originally joined the Artisan by Santa Barbara Catering team in 2017 as an Event Producer. She was quickly promoted to the Senior Event Producer then onto the Senior Catering Sales Manager, as her keen knowledge of catering, events, and hospitality perfected. She then began to spearhead numerous new projects and develop her book of business and establish herself as a true caterer and Sales Manager. Corinne has a distinct eye for success – whether it be sourcing auxiliary vendors for clients, building and nurturing client relationships, menu development or sourcing new catering leads. Together, Corinne and I have worked closely together developing creative chef demonstrations, artistically designed weddings and large scale widely detailed corporate events with over 1,200 guests. Throughout the last four years, she has been a loyal employee, friend and confidant. I can honestly say that I regard Corinne with the utmost respect and trust her judgment and special event skills to no end. She is an honest and caring individual who will make an extremely valuable asset to your organization. Any company would be lucky to have her. Best, Nicole Jorgensen
