I'm an idea person, especially when it comes to special events that are designed to drive traffic and sales to a retail location. My specialty is in marketing a shopping center and the shops within it. I have produced over 2,000 events from large-scale grand openings of a shopping center and retailer, to community based activities that attract thousands of people to attend.In addition to developing the ideas for a promotion or special event, I oversee design and printing of collaterals (posters, brochures, etc.), communications with merchants, customers and staff, and final execution of event or promotion.I submit PR to local media to cover special events/promotions and provide materials they m ay need, including photos, written statements.In addition to my professional career, I am very involved with the commuity of Huntington Beach - where I have lived for 25+ years. I assist with non-profit efforts to raise money for various causes, including Kiwanis, Golden West College, Soropto
