World Series VIP Hospitality, 2021
"BATtLe: The Parties...The Win... The 2021 World Series" events were awarded the 2022 Allie Award for Best Public Event. A once in a career opportunity occurred in 2021 when the Braves defied all odds and made it the World Series. My team was tasked with pulling together more than 10 VIP Hospitality/Ownership Events with less than 14 days planning time. We even caught "Hammerin' Hank" custom cocktails on fire!

Prom Series, 2022
Through the Atlanta Braves Foundation's partnership with MLB Wives-founded non-profit Prom Series, I had the opportunity to plan an incredible, heart points event for teens in foster care. Prom Series mission: "to curate once in a lifetime experiences for foster teens to build confidence and self worth." Our goal: awe-inspiring, feminine, pre-game event concept where the girls were showered with delicious food, custom cookies, professional hair and make up, custom jerseys, and were gifted an entire package of back to school clothes and essentials gifted by Braves wives.
World Series Premium Activations, 2021
A once in a career opportunity occurred in 2021 when the Braves defied all odds and made it the World Series. One of my favorite assignments came in the form of decor in our Premium spaces. We took team member Joc Pederson's newfound love of wearing a pearl necklace on the field and added it to balloon and installation decor. Our World Series run also incorporated multiple photo activations.

Dinner on the Diamond, 2019
A first of its kind event held on July 9, 2019 at SunTrust Park. We hosted over 350 A-List Members for Dinner on the Diamond for a special viewing of All Star Game. Design inspiration came from elevated elements of Braves branding, and Curacao-born Braves All Star Andruw Jones, with nods to tropical foliage, and a Blue Curacao signature cocktail ("The Blue Slugger") wall that greeted guests as they entered into the event with unprecedented field access!
