Bio

I worked with Nicole on an event project to commemorate the ribbon cutting of Shure’s newest office location in downtown Chicago. She was my go-to person from sourcing vendors, negotiating contracts, coordinating internal and external communications, to day-of event execution and post event needs. Nicole had a handle on it all while concurrently balancing her regular workload of multiple trade shows throughout the US. I consider Nicole a major reason why the event went off without a hitch (and under budget!) and was very well received by our Executive Staff. Nicole would be a great asset to any organization and I fully welcome the opportunity to endorse her.
