About Ann

I am a current senior at Temple University in Philadelphia studying Tourism and Hospitality Management with a minor in Event and Entertainment Management. I’ve had a variety of working experiences over the past four years in corporate, social, and non-profit spheres. My passion for events is rooted in purpose and people, and in whatever position I’m in I strive to find those. Whether it be the people we bring together or the purpose of the organization, they push me to excel. I’d be remiss to skip over my love for design as well, as being creative in an event setting sparks inspiration for me. I’ve lived in the Philadelphia area my whole life but am hoping to pursue a position which will allow me to travel and explore not only the states but the world. I love my community here but am excited to expand my network and grow in new ways. You may be able to take the girl out of Philly, but you certainly can't take that "Philly grit" out of the girl!

- Travel to 3 new places

- Create meaningful industry connections

- Grow my event management skills while expanding on planning logistics
