Owner, Event Planner Antares, LLC

I am a graduate of Rowan University, 1985. Most of my experience came from working with the Muscular Dystrophy Association from 1994 to 2012. I began as a Program Coordinator and was promoted several times until I achieved a position as Regional Director responsible for prospecting and securing new corporate partners while interfacing with National and Regional MDA stakeholders. I've actively managed operations with a budget of $9.5 million and a staff of over forty (40) employees.

 

My passion at MDA was creating, planning and implementing special events and campaigns that would raise funds for research and provide comprehensive health care services and support to MDA families. I learned all aspects of how to run a live television broadcast, negotiating studio contracts, writing scripts, managing logistics, hiring staff and overseeing talent as the Executive Producer for the MDA Labor Day Telethon in the Metro New York area. I had the privilege to work with legendary entertainers, celebrities, and television and sports personalities throughout the years.
