As an experienced event manager, Jessica has coordinated many Approach2Link events helping to make each event a success. She goes over and beyond her duty to make sure things run smoothly before, during and after the event. She assisted in planning. She participated in venue selection and has been a liaison between Approach2link and vendors. In addition to planning and coordinating, she greets and directs attendees with a warm and inviting smile. I plan on recruiting her services again in the future and highly recommend her to coordinate your future event.
