WHO YOU ARE:





Our new Events Coordinator is a hungry self-starter looking to learn and work side by side with the Regional Manager of Events producing events from start to finish!






- You love talking and listening to people in hopes of figuring out a solution to their problems. You ask a lot of questions.
- You get an adrenaline rush every time you cross something off your list.
- You don’t just finish your tasks, you crush them.
- You have a Type-A personality and probably color-code your closet, or make your bed before you get in it.
- You’re used to wearing many hats, and you look great in all of them!
- You take initiative, not a backseat.
- Your attention to detail is so refined that you could find a needle in a haystack without breaking a sweat.
- You must have been a juggler in a past life because now you can multitask like a pro, and you have a black belt in time management!
- You always want to be the first to figure “it” out - whatever it is.
- You’ve been “in events” for a long time or are just getting started, but a challenge, a risk and something refreshing lights you up.
