Answers from Windy

What kind of job are you looking for?

I'd love to keep up with my event planning, but in a corporate capacity. I'd be more than happy to plan meetings as well, but I really enjoy fundraisers and charitable events. It feels good to plan an event that you know is doing good for someone somewhere. The more challenging the better. If I have a budget I have to work within, but need to be creative to pull off an amazing event, no problem.... read more

How would you describe your time at National Beer Wholesalers A...?

This was my first job out of college, so to call it a learning experience doesn't do it justice! I got my first taste of event planning here working with the conventions & meetings department on our convention, legislative conference and management meetings.

How would you describe your time at George Mason University?

Smartest decision I ever made - going to Mason. Since it's located in the heart of Northern VA and it's proximity to DC, I was able to secure internships and jobs very easily both during and after school. Being a government major was perfect there as well. I was able to watch a Supreme Court case, help a Senator get elected and lobby on Capitol Hill during my 4 years of college.... read more
