Our Team

SAVVY. SUPPORTIVE. POSITIVE.

From the age of 10, I’ve had big aspirations, including being the first female president of the US (luckily for the nation, that dream faded!). Blessed with an entrepreneurial spirit, I knew I would own a business doing something I loved. Today, RealTime Productions is my passion and lifeline. I enjoy creating lasting relationships with our clients and watching my team turn dreams into reality. I’m so proud of the work they do. That’s the fun of this business; it’s not a 9-5 job, and I embrace the craziness.

Years in the industry:  Way too many. I don’t want to give away my age!

STRATEGIC. TRUSTED. METICULOUS.

I consider myself very lucky to have found my niche in the events industry. I’ve worked on a multitude of events in countries I could never have imagined I would ever visit. I am very passionate about the events I work on, the people I work with, and the complexity that goes along with every program. My favorite part of managing events is the challenge of space planning and the execution of attendee flow. It is so satisfying to see what you visualized on paper come to life. Events are never dull and I feel incredibly proud to be part of an industry with so many talented people. I have made so many friends “in the biz” I can’t imagine where my life would be today if I hadn’t stumbled upon event planning more than 20 years ago! In my free time I love hanging out with friends, finding sun in Mexico, going to rock concerts, or just puttering around my house and doting on my pets – my Yorkie-Poo Millie and my 5 cats – Leo, Lucky, Leroy, Lucy and Spencer.

AMBITIOUS. EXPERIENCED. THOUGHTFUL.

I’ve returned to my roots at RealTime Productions, the company I co-founded with Jeanne Berry, after raising a family in peaceful Buckley, WA. Bottom line…I love my job. To have a vision and make that vision a reality is just plain amazing. Using my natural abilities and gifts towards creating events and managing logistics and budgets is pure joy. These days when I am not in front of my computer screen working I am at a gym watching my son or daughter play club and select volleyball, and I LOVE every minute of it! We often join in the fun and play too which is an excellent way to burn off steam. My family is just what I need to keep all the chaos of events in balance.

DEPENDABLE. RESOURCEFUL. EVEN-KEELED.

Events have been a core part of nearly every job I’ve had in my career – from the marketing & communications side, to the hands-on logistics & budget management side. There’s something about seeing ideas and details come to life, working with amazingly creative teams, and delivering awesome client and customer experiences that is incredibly satisfying and rewarding. I’m a big believer in enjoying what you do, both professionally and personally. Laughter and humor are must-haves in my life (I consider laughing my ab workout of choice). Outside of work, you’ll likely find my husband and me on the soccer field watching our daughter compete, and eating out a lot (cooking dinner may be an event I haven’t exactly mastered).

CREATIVE. CONSCIENTIOUS. COLLABORATOR. 

Teamwork. It’s key to pulling off a successful event, and it’s the thing I love the most about working in the event industry. Over the years, I’ve had the fortune and delight of working many types of events, with different roles and responsibilities – as a decorator, a booth manager, on logistics and creative development, speaker/content management – with each presenting its own rewards and challenges. Through my continuing journey, I’ve found that the one common must-have element that you’ll find in ALL successful events, is teamwork. With an effective team, you can solve any problem, overcome any obstacle, deliver a great event, AND have a great time doing it. It’s this collaborative aspect that drew me into the realm of events, and what keeps me coming back for more! When I’m not cranking on a project, you can find me behind the torch in my metalsmithing shop (I heart silver), elbows-deep in the dirt in my community garden plot, or wrangling my at-home menagerie, which includes a bunch of four-legged beasties and my wonderful husband.

​TEAM PLAYER. ADAPTABLE. EFFICIENT.

As far back as childhood, I have been an event planner at heart. I was the girl hosting the big parties, beach bonfires, holiday celebrations, and organizing all types of road trips and vacations. With every job in my adult career path over the past 30 years, event planning has been my passion. I’m enthusiastic about events – it’s the people at the event: the speakers, the attendees and the event team that drive me to produce the best events. When I’m not running around producing events you can find me slalom waterskiing or fostering kittens from the local animal shelter.

COLLABORATOR. DRIVEN. RESULTS-ORIENTED.

With over 25 years of event planning experience I feel like I have seen and experienced it all, yet every event brings forth something new and different.  I enjoy meeting new people from all over the world and building the relationships that follow.  Give me an idea for an event and I will run with it from concept to execution and everything in between. The logistics and details are what excite me.  I have planned events ranging from intimate Board Retreats to a two-day concert with six bands. When I am not in event mode you will find me reading my collection of cooking magazines or enjoying pairing food with wine.  I also love spending time with my family and my pup Jules!

​​PROBLEM SOLVER. CREATVE.              POSITIVE.

My extensive years of experience of supporting national and global events will easily prove to be a positive addition to your team. With more than 30 years of worldwide logistics and project management experience and seamless execution of client, customer, and partner events, I come with a positive, can-do attitude. Having honed problem-solving, communication and interpersonal skills over the years has helped navigate the sometimes-precarious world of event management. With a successful track record juggling multiple projects and working across functional groups I work to build consensus and drive uniform strategy that accomplish business goals.

DETERMINED. FLEXIBLE. CREATIVE

I started my career as a professional vocalist and realized through that experience that I had a passion for the production aspect of the shows over the performances.  That started me on a path that has given me the great opportunity to see the world and be a part of many aspects of the events, travel, and hospitality industry. My decades of experience have allowed me to lead teams in hotel sales, incentive trip planning, outdoor festivals, conferences/congresses, concerts, associate engagement, and groups management. All the while managing the site selections, contracting, and vendor management that has afforded me cherished partnerships in the industry.  If you se me on a plane, I’ll typically be knitting and catching up on movies that I missed when they were in the theaters.
