Ashley Scobey
I had the privilege of working with Kendall on the B2B marketing team at PartySlate, and I am thrilled to write this recommendation. As PartySlate's Senior Events Manager, Kendall demonstrated exceptional skills in relationship management, project coordination, budget oversight, and flawless event execution. Event management isn't easy. There are often a lot of moving parts and many opinions to consider - both internal and external. Throughout our time working together, Kendall consistently impressed me with her unwavering dedication and ability to handle complex projects with ease. Her strong attention to detail and meticulous planning ensured that every event she managed was executed to the highest standard. Kendall's professionalism and exceptional communication skills allowed her to effortlessly navigate client relationships, building trust and fostering long-lasting partnerships. What truly sets Kendall apart is her ability to multitrack event projects and priorities while maintaining a calm and reliably positive demeanor. She thrives in fast-paced environments, and her problem-solving skills are nothing short of impressive. Kendall's resourcefulness and quick thinking enable her to handle any challenges that arise during the event planning process, always finding creative solutions to deliver exceptional results. Not only is Kendall highly competent in her role, but she also brings a sense of warmth and enthusiasm to the team. She is a natural collaborator, always ready to support her colleagues and share her expertise. Kendall's positive energy and easy spirit create an enjoyable work environment that fosters teamwork and encourages everyone to strive for excellence. It was a true pleasure to work alongside Kendall, and I have no doubt that she will continue to thrive in all her future endeavors. I highly recommend Kendall for senior events and experiential marketing roles and know that any team would be lucky to have her. Best, Ashley Scobey
