I have been involved with interactive meeting technology for 7+ years. After I earned my multimedia degree from the Art Institutes International, I found myself working as an Audience Response technician and designing interactive meeting applications for a production company based in Minneapolis, MN. After being a part of 400+ meetings and events using interactive meeting technology, I see technology as a conduit to improve communication within meetings and events raising the overall effectiveness of the live event.

As a member of MPI Greater New York, MPI WestField and the NYC Chapter of ISES, I have been active in bringing interactivity to each of the chapters by sharing my expertise and system at numerous meetings and education sessions. I have also served as a Chair for the Green Committee for MPI WestField where we conducted the very first "green" audit of a MPI chapter. I was named the 2008 Supplier Volunteer of the year for WestField.

Outside of the meeting and event industry, I consider myself the foremost expert in both pizza and hot dogs. I like Hot dogs and Pizza...a lot. Really!
