OUR WORK
After earning a BA in history, I studied Sport and Event Marketing and discovered my passion. Working with start-ups and small businesses has given me a chance to experience a wide range of marketing-related duties: retail, packaging, staff recruiting and training, logistics, and merchandising. Whether working on an intimate party or a major product launch, I have the skills and experience to plan noteworthy events. My job is to think of every last detail and consider every possible hiccup so there’s a plan in place for success. Here are some of my clients and events:
Kawartha Craft Beer Festival
Now celebrating our 6th year, the Kawartha Craft Beer Festival has grown tremendously since year one. With an idea in mind, we started this Festival at Louis Street Parking lot and have grown to our newest location at Del Crary Park in Peterborough, ON. From planning, to bookings, contracts and on-site management, we run this event from start to finish.
Unfortunately due to Covid-19, we have cancelled the 2020 Beer Festival. Join us for the 6th year on Friday June 4th from 4pm-11pm and Saturday June 5th from 1pm-11pm, 2021 to celebrate Ontario Craft Beer.
See you next year!

Working with Chalk Therapy, we were able to update their website copy and layout to better reflect the growth in the business and provide a clear view of the many unique services that Chalk Therapy provides. With the consistent growth over the years to opening and expanding new businesses, the Chalk Therapy website now gives customers great insight into the business.
