Director of Events with experience working with Nashville Chamber, LaunchTN, Vanderbilt, BMI, and a host of nonprofits, corporate and creative clients.
Hi, I’m Cat!
From intimate retreats to large-scale celebrations, I genuinely love gathering people and creating energy around purpose. There’s something powerful about connecting humans in the same room and watching ideas, energy, and relationships unfold in real time. It’s work I don’t take lightly —and honestly, I love every part of it.
I lead projects from the initial vision all the way through launch day and beyond, owning the strategy, logistics, operations, and execution every step of the way.
I build live experiences that grow brands, strengthen partnerships, and create audience networking and connection.
Strategic event professional with 18+ years of experience leading complex event portfolios, VIP/executive experiences, and large-scale productions. Throughout my career, I've managed $5M+ in cumulative budgets, directed 100+ annual events, and produced experiences serving audiences of 4,000+ attendees. Known for connecting strategy, creative vision, production, operations, finance, sponsorship, and hospitality into seamless, high-impact event experiences.
A trusted partner to executive leadership, I build high-performing teams, modernize event operations, and create scalable systems that improve performance while strengthening stakeholder relationships.
My background spans nonprofit, higher education, entrepreneurship, economic development, and the music industry, combining an MBA in Management & Leadership and a Bachelor's degree in Music Business to bring both business acumen and live production insight to every event portfolio.
