Staff Spotlights are the place to learn all about the careers, passions, and personalities of our amazing staff. You can find other staff spotlight interviews right here on our blog.
Q: What was your dream job growing up?
A: I always had a talent for the arts and knew I wanted to pursue something related to that. I was always drawing when I was younger. In high school, I found a passion for film photography, and by the time I got to college, I started pursuing art and design in the digital space.
Q: What made you want to get into this industry and how did you get here?
A: I started out as an accounting major in my first year of college and quickly learned it was not for me. After my first semester, I changed my major to graphic design and have been in love with graphic arts ever since. My first job out of college was a position designing wall and glass art for office spaces. Now as the Graphic & Production Designer for Corinthian Events, I manage all internal and client graphic design work, which allows me to add my own unique and custom touches.
Q: What is your favorite part about working for Corinthian Events?
A: My favorite part has to be the people. Everyone on our team is so nice and welcoming. It is also great to work on such a variety of events that are always new and different every time!
Q: If you could switch jobs with anyone at Corinthian Events for a day, who would it be and why?
A: Our office dog Rory because I’ve always wanted to chase the mail man.
Q: What is something people might not know about you?
A: I learned how to juggle in college to help improve my hand eye coordination as a lacrosse goalie.
Q: What has been your favorite moment of your events career so far?
A: Being crowned ping pong champion at our 2022 company summer outing.
Q: Where do you think is the best view of the city?
A: I think the best view of Boston is from the Bunker Hill Monument.
Q: What three words would you use to describe yourself?
A: I would say easy going, funny, and creative.
Q: What is an event or activity you have always wanted to execute for a client?
A: I have always wanted to be part of the team that designs the graphics for the Olympics.
Q: What is something you are looking forward to in the coming year?
A: I am looking forward to helping on site at as many events as possible and seeing the graphics I design come to life.
Q: What is your favorite restaurant in the area?
A: My favorite restaurant is one just outside of Boston in Burlington, MA, called Black and Blue. They have the most incredible steaks!
