Why I Do This
I believe the best events do more than entertain, they create a sense of belonging.
Throughout my career, I've been drawn to building experiences that bring people together, support local businesses, and strengthen communities. Whether organizing recurring events, developing partnerships, or creating memorable guest experiences, I've found that what excites me most isn't simply planning an event. It's creating an environment where people feel welcomed, connected, and excited to come back.
Finding hockey
I found hockey at a time when I needed it most.
What first caught my attention was the intensity, the teamwork, and the way players looked out for one another. The speed of the game was exciting, but what stayed with me was the culture. It felt like a community built on trust, resilience, and genuine love for the game.
At the time, I was going through a difficult season in my life. Hockey gave me something to look forward to each night. The rhythm of skates on the ice, the sound of the puck moving, and the energy inside the arena reminded me what it felt like to be excited again.
People often talk about "love at first sight." That's exactly how I describe finding hockey, not because of a particular player or team, but because of the game itself.
Looking ahead
That experience changed how I think about sports and events. I know what it feels like to walk into a community as a new fan, and I know how powerful it is when an organization makes you feel like you belong.
Today, my goal is to combine my experience in event operations, community engagement, and partnership development with my passion for creating unforgettable experiences. Whether someone is attending their first game or their fiftieth, I want to help create the kind of moments that strengthen communities, welcome new fans, and give people a reason to come back again and again.
