I am a senior account executive at Beanfield Centre and Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place, specializing in associations. I joined CSAE in January 2020 and quickly attended Tête-à-Tête and the Winter Summit. I was warmly embraced by the CSAE family and found the members willing to share and educate a new member. The professional development and social events have been stellar and memorable. For example, at the Winter Summit, I rediscovered my youthful passion for karaoke. I enjoyed my first month so much that I quickly volunteered for the Summer Summit and the 2021 Winter Summit. I am looking forward to meeting more members, engaging them in thought-provoking conversation and partnering with them on future events.
