IF I WASN’T DOING THIS, I’D BE: Sitting on a beach with a tropical drink. But seriously, I would be a teacher.
MOST IMPRESSIVE PERSON I’VE EVER MET: Dr. Maya Angelou. Not just impressive, but an amazing woman! I met Dr. Angelou at an event, I melted in her presence. She was engaging, graceful, and kind. Her book, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” remains one of my favorites.
I UNWIND BY: am preparing a new recipe. But I also like to watch old movies
ON MY DESK RIGHT NOW IS: Two monitors, iPad, phones, a handful of red grapes (trying to eat healthy snacks), work/project related documents, my note- book (I carry it everywhere), and a greeting card with words of inspiration sent from a client.
MY FAVORITE IAVM PROGRAM/CONFERENCE/ EVENT/SESSION I EVER ATTENDED WAS: VenueConnect in Nashville and the Diversity Reception led by Robyn Williams. What an amazing fundraising event! I made new industry friends that day and came away with a renewed sense of commitment to IAVM.
IF I WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEATS, I’D BE:
Door greeter or usher. This is an awesome way to meet new peo- ple. I would get to smile all day.
ONE TRAIT AN UP-AND-COMING VENUE MANAGER SHOULD HAVE IS: Be humble.
ONE UP-AND-COMING VENUE STAR IN THE INDUSTRY IS:
16 Facility Manager Magazine
Shawn Brown at the Verizon Arena. I am just growing my relation- in and lend a helping hand at a moment’s notice.
ONE OF MY GOALS FOR THIS YEAR IS TO: company in every way, to grow our business, and to have a positive impact.
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO HELP ELEVATE THE PROFESSION? By remaining enthusiastic, supportive, committed, and engaged with IAVM and the industry as a whole. I will join others to ensure that all are represented as we tackle Diversity and Inclusiveness as such.
WHERE DO YOU SEE NEW GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PROFESSION? There are two areas that I believe will continue to impact our in- dustry and our venues: technology (infrastructure) and security. I - perience all the way up to securing our venues.
HOW DO YOU STAY CURRENT WITH INDUSTRY TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS? I read industry publications, staying in touch with other industry friends, attending conferences such as IAVM and IAEE. I also en- joy reading the daily digest from PCMA. Lastly, I follow some in- dustry organizations on LinkedIn and Twitter.
WHO ARE THREE PEOPLE YOU’D INVITE TO A DIN- NER PARTY AND WHY? Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Covey, and Martha Stewart. There is so much to learn from all of them, and this dinner would likely go on for hours. I selected Oprah, simply because she is a phenomenal woman, inspirational, and transformative; Stephen Covey wrote a book that helped to shape me as an upcoming leader; lastly, Martha leader. FM
