My Journey in the Events Industry

My name is Gabriella, and over the past decade I've curated a wealth of knowledge that now resides within ProEventTips. My professional journey has been a diverse one, encompassing projects of varying scopes within the event industry. Initially, I honed my skills in production at ESPN, where I played a pivotal role in orchestrating logistics for numerous live productions globally, such as the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, UEFA Euros in Paris, Special Olympics World Games in LA and Austria, and an Emmy Award winning season of CFB College Gameday.

Transitioning into the latter half of my career, I ventured into a new sector of event management, collaborating with an outstanding team to organize high-stakes fundraising events for a nonprofit healthcare foundation spanning multiple states. I delved into a realm that pushed my boundaries and fostered growth; from exclusive salon gatherings for esteemed donors to extensive week-long auctions boasting extensive inventories and massive attendance.

Through these experiences, I've amassed a treasure trove of invaluable resources and trade insights. I'm excited to share these invaluable insights through ProEventTips, where I aim to pass on this knowledge to fellow event enthusiasts.
