My plan upon graduation is to pursue a career in Event Planning. Through my experience at OneSource, I discovered that my passion for the details, the rush of a deadline and creativity coincided perfectly with the hurried pace and detail-oriented nature of event planning. I also discovered new passions such as, the adventure of new places and events; the constant changes and new creative ideas that emerge and keep things interesting at all times. My passion for the job helped me successfully manage events from an idea on paper to disassembly and post event analysis.

Because of the initiative I took to shape my career through college and the excellent academics and guidance provided by Pace, I’ve already been offered a full-time position at OneSource after my graduation in May and I am already on my way to success.

My current goal is to complete my Masters in Media & Communication Arts at Pace University in May 2011. I look forward to my burgeoning career in event planning, starting with my full-time position at OneSource Worldwide, Inc. Down the road I would also like to enroll in NYU’s Certified Meeting Planner (CMP) certificate ship program to further my education and earn that title. I certainly would not have been able to plan my future so thoroughly without my internship, my excellent Pace education and the support of my professors and advisors.
