To Whom It May Concern:

You will find me to be an effective communicator who can facilitate day-to-day coordination. My strong knowledge of vendors, past employment history and diversified cultural awareness provides a unique background to help ensure good customer service. I am familiar with the importance of accurate reporting of revenue as well as business objectives. Having been trained in the corporate financial world I am well aware of identifying services, implementing strategies, analyzing the results and monitoring improvements. While putting myself through college I worked for one of the largest public relations company, Porter Novelli. I continue to rely on the immense learning experience I received. I was responsible for setting up seminars, preparing the “pitch”, coordinating each clients desire while visiting New York, like purchasing show tickets, favorite restaurants, etc. I worked as a liaison between art directors, copy writers and national CEO’s. In addition to organizing events in the Jefferson Ballroom (which seats 300), there are five other conference rooms (which seat 50- 75 seats), and a restaurant with bar space; all requiring staff and station changes on a regular basis.

In my spare time I continue working with my church. What started as a fund raising mission quickly turned into a lucrative business. In viewing the latest styles and trends I was able to capture the wedding market niche of Charlottesville Country Club and Vineyards. My confidence in understanding this easily allows me to meet, listen, and capture a customers vision.

I hold a Manager of Food Handling, have my CPR/AED Certification and am TIPS certified with VA ABC. This may not be important towards your position, however, it shows that I do try my best to be supplied with valuable information. This has manifested into a full array of holiday and themed party planning. I have excellent customer reviews.

Being part of the team that creates a great experience for each customer motivates a good company image. I look forward to speaking with you concerning this position. Thank you.
